It's on the web and is updated by mirror from its new home every day
as of Wednesday night.

FAQ> Q1.0.2 What is the current version of XEmacs?

FAQ> The current version is 19.15, released in March, 1997. 

That is the current `stable' version.  For most non-developer-type
people compiling without MULE (the majority), there is not much point
in upgrading to 20.2, so 20.2 is not going to be a recommended upgrade
path from 19.15 (+patches) at this time.

This needs updating.  20.2 is going to be announced shortly, and it is 
likely that the round of patches for 19.15 that gets binary kits
attached to it will be renumbered to 19.16.

The version needs to be changed to `20.3'.
