I have to use Win95 at work for certain development tools, but I manage
pretty
well with the NT port of emacs (which runs fine under Win95) and TCSH
for
a shell.

The .emacs file exists but is named "_emacs" and should be placed under
your 
$HOME directory or "C:/" if you don't have $HOME defined.

Indeed.  "Freed" software is making quite an impact in the Real World
