I switched to EFS for testing ZServer because ange-ftp doesn't seem to
support this.  I believe you'd have to twiddle an elisp variable, which
of course would change it for all ange-ftp sessions.  Also the Windows
port of XEmacs is _awesome_.

This is what works for XEmacs/EFS.

You'll probably have problems with the permissions on var.  A nice thing
about ZServer is that you can actually see exception information in a
console window.

This happened to me yesterday.  I'm not too smart so I blew everything
away and it seemed to work.

Amos is working on a new installer (as well as finally overhauled and
corrected installation docs) for 1.11.
