Using GNU Emacs has long stopped to be a major pain. Unfortunately, there are no current binary versions available. To fill this void, I have created one from today’s (22.2.05) CVS version. Feel free to download the build. It contains a build made on a G4 based system with OS X 10.3.8 installed. I have not done any testing on other systems. Comments regarding this subject are very welcome 
Additionally, especially for my German readers, the following two lines to be added to your .emacs file make the usage of Emacs on OS X a much more pleasant experience:
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'mac-roman) (set-default-font "fontset-mac")
The first one makes the Mac keyboard work as expected. Otherwise, you cannot enter German umlauts in Emacs. The second lines makes these characters actually displayable.
Have fun!

Ich meine, der Schockwellenreiter hat eine Seite von mir verlinkt.
