Windows binaries of CVS Emacs?

Is there an HTTP site somewhere that posts Windows binaries for Emacs from
time to time? Ideally, I'd like to be able to pick up a binary and all
source files in zip form.

I used to get a vanilla Emacs zip file at
http://ourcomments.org/cgi-bin/emacsw32-dl-latest.pl periodically, but
Lennart no longer builds binaries from CVS, AFAIK.

I get my binaries from http://ntemacs.sourceforge.net/. It also provides
the sources.

Cheers,
Karel

Right, thanks. Forgot about that one. Last cycle they stopped posting
binaries after a while, so they were few and far between. But it looks like
there is one from July.  Thx.

specify an icon

I usually have two Emacs instances running; one for reading mail, one
for doing other work.

I'd like them to have different icons, so finding them in the MS
Windows Ctrl-Tab display is simpler.

I don't see a way to specify the Emacs icon at run-time; there is the
command-line option --no-bitmap-icon, but no way to choose which icon
to use. Is there a way?

It's dumb question time again

I may be a veteran of sorts when it comes to computers (okay I lied; I've
only used them since 1981) but while I'm intrigued by it, I haven't used
Emacs much. What's the best source to turn to for helping learn how to use
it?

Emacs. 
Best source to turn to for help learning Emacs. Bar none.

And that's your last important Emacs lesson from outside Emacs.
If there is such a thing.

OK. I have Micro Emacs, GNU Emacs, XEmacs, Barry's Emacs, perhaps one or two
other variations. I'm still trying to figure out the difference if any.

Unable to use Terminus bdf font under ntemacs 23

I am using ntemacs 23 (20070818 from http://ntemacs.sourceforge.net/),
and try to use terminus 4.20 from
http://www.is-vn.bg/hamster/jimmy-en.html . Unfortunately, I cannot
see that beautiful font from my emacs.

I extract ter-u16n from the font package to c:\bdffonts\, and do the
following in emacs:

(setq bdf-directory-list `("c:/bdffonts"))
(setq w32-bdf-filename-alist (w32-find-bdf-fonts bdf-directory-list))

(create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
"-*-*-*-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-16,
ascii:-xos4-Terminus-Medium-R-Normal--16-160-72-72-C-80-iso10646-1")

(set-frame-font "fontset-16")

then screen becomes blank. Seems the font is not correctly handled.

Any idea? Thanks.

Typo, should be 20070819.
