That's Windwoes/DOS Jihad...  The guy *did* say he uses micro-Emacs
under Windows, that's why I told him about the *real* Emacs for that
environment.  This doesn't mean I endorse Windwoes.

AFAIK, there ain't no such port, because GNU Emacs still
doesn't support syntax highlighting.  But the latest Win-Emacs
*does* support this, as it is a port of Lucid Emacs.  Whether
this feature is nice enough to make you switch to Windwoes is
for you to decide.  Btw, I also mostly work under DOS, not
Windows.
