Here is a first draft of installation instructions for CGreek using
emacs with Windows. Since I don't understand the installation of bdf
fonts for emacs please check that the lines concerning the
installation and creation of bdf fonts are correct. Otherwise there
should be no problem for Windows users with emacs 21 (and 20, I
believe):

==========================================

1. Download latest emacs version of CGreek from ...

2. Unpack (with e.g. WinZip) to a suitable location within your emacs
installation; e.g. .../emacs/site-lisp/cgreek


3. Add the following lines to your .emacs (or _emacs) file:

		     ********************

(add-to-list 'load-path ".../emacs/site-lisp/cgreek")
(load-library "dotemacs")

(setq bdf-directory-list
'(".../emacs/site-lisp/cgreek/bdf"))
(setq w32-bdf-filename-alist
(w32-find-bdf-fonts bdf-directory-list))

(create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
"-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-c-*-fontset-bdf,
cgreek:-mizuochi-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-mulecgreek-1")

(setq w32-use-w32-font-dialog nil)
(set-default-font "fontset-bdf")

		  ************************

Note: make sure all the paths are complete
(e.g. `c:/progs/emacs/site-lisp...') and correct (i.e. match your
installation).

3. Test the installation by restarting emacs.

4. Read the CGreek instruction manual.

5. The two conversion programmes needed to read the TLG may be
downloaded from www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~q67/Info

==========================================================

Tell me if changes/corrections are needed, please. On point [5] I have
compiled these programmes using the older files. I think there was a
recommendation to change some settings and to recompile. Any news?
