 ;; 3. For package releases that's all you need to do. For binary
 ;; releases you need to build both cygwin and win32 binaries and put
-;; them in appropriate tarballs:
-;;
-;; For cygwin, configure, make and install and then do (this is for
-;; 21.1.13):
-;;
-;;   cd <install dir>
-;;   tar cvzf xemacs-i686-pc-cygwin32-21.1.13.tar.gz \
-;;      ./bin/i686-pc-cygwin32 ./lib/xemacs-21.1.13 \
-;;      ./lib/xemacs/lock ./man/man1/xemacs.1 \
-;;      ./man/man1/ctags.1 ./man/man1/gnu*.1'
+;; them in appropriate tarballs: This can be achieved by running
+;; build-msw-release.sh
 ;;
-;;  Note that the naming of the package is important. Don't be tempted
-;;  to change the order in any way.
-;;
-;; For win32 build and install the release and then (again for
-;; 21.1.13):
-;;
-;;   cd <install dir>
-;;   tar cvzf xemacs-i386-pc-win32-21.1.13.tar.gz ./XEmacs-21.1.13
-;; 
-;; The binaries should be uploaded to
-;; `ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/binaries/cygwin32' and
-;; `ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/binaries/win32' respectively. Take
-;; a note of their sizes and set `package-net-cygwin32-binary-size'
-;; and `package-net-win32-binary-size' appropriately in this file and
-;; then follow step 2.
