That was back then before GNU Emacs offered a stable official Windows build when XEmacs did, and at the time I was doing a lot of Windows development.</p> <p>Out of curiosity and for some research I tried to look into the current state of the project and found that the <a href="https://www.xemacs.org">www.xemacs.org</a> appears to be unreachable. The domain still exists and according to whois was last updated in September 2015. The <a href="http://xemacs.sourceforge.net/index.html">XEmacs Sourceforge page</a> is still around, but appears to have received its last set of updates in 2009. Obviously a lot of links to the bug tracker, mailing list hosts etc are dead as they&rsquo;re point to subdomains of xemacs.org.</p>
