Dear Sir:

    As far as I could tell when I tried the same thing, GNU Emacs
version 19.25 on MS-DOS is broken.  You can get temacs to dump if
you change the PURESIZE constant in the src/m/386dos.h file to
230000 instead of 220000 (or better in the src/puresize.h file,
but I was lazy) but even then it will not work correctly.  I
found that instead of echoing what I typed to the screen
immediately, it would print diamond ('\x4', 'C-d' to the Emacs
enthusiast) characters.  The actual text would be displayed when
the screen was refreshed, but I do like seeing what I type.
    Version 19.24 of that program, however, works quite well.  I
have prepared a distribution including compiled binaries for the
386 and 486 processors, but have not had the time to upload it
yet.  If you and others are interested, I will ask someone like
SimTel to carry it.

Yours,
D. D. Jenkins
