XEmacs 21.1.13 "Crater Lake" is available from ftp.xemacs.org.
Get it from:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.13.tar.gz
-or-
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.13.tar.bz2
These are the core distribution without bytecompiled lisp. (You only
need one of these two files: the .bz2 file has been compressed with
bzip2 and is therefore smaller than the .gz file, which has been
compressed with gzip.)
If you are on a fast machine with a possibly slow connection to the
FTP site, one of these tarballs is all you need for the base XEmacs.
Untar it, run 'configure', then run `make' and `make install'.
Note that you will still need the XEmacs packages. Please see the
file README.packages in the root of the source directory.
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.13-elc.tar.gz
This tarball is the bytecompiled lisp of all the lisp (.el) files
included in the above tarball. Bytecompiling all of XEmacs Lisp
included in this tarball takes only a few minutes on a machine with
any speed at all, so this file is not strictly necessary.
A patch to upgrade from XEmacs 21.1.12 is also available:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.12-21.1.13.patch.gz
After applying the patch, please run the command 'touch configure' in
order to make sure 'configure' is newer than 'configure.in'.
XEmacs-21.1 is the stable branch of XEmacs. As such, only bugfix
submissions are allowed into these releases. Here is the extensive
list of bugfixes which were applied to 21.1.12 to create 21.1.13. In
addition, the SGI dumping code was taken from GNU Emacs, so the XEmacs
21.1.13 should build on IRIX 6.5 (at least).
The 21.1.x series of releases is being named for US National Parks.
Channel Islands National Park is located in Crater Lake, Oregon.

at this website is magnificent!).
