where can i get a distribution of the latest release?
one trying to obtain ntemacs based on the information
in the faq will face a maddening goround.

the faq at
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/faq2.html

claims latest distributions of sources and binaries
are at:

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/

at this location the latest version is 21.3.
there is nothing in the 21.3 subdirectory but a bunch
of files 
*.back-RSN.README dated 23.10.2003 

all files with this style name are text files which
indicate that the eponymous part (the * part) is gone
and the real thing will be back Real Soon Now - but
notice that the date of these files is 23.10.2003.
the same thing in general is true of subdirectories
for earlier releases.

the faq also lists 8 other sites which supposedly host
distributions, but all but one of them either do not
exist or do not have distributions.
that one is 
ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/ntemacs/ 
the latest distribution there is 20.7 and it is dated
14.6.2000.

where should i go to get this distribution?
