Emacs 20.0 is in the pretest phase.  With any luck, it will be unleashed 
in a couple of weeks (I have no influence on the release date, so don't 
ask me when exactly).

This version has a lot of major changes.  However, it seems that I'm the 
only poor soul to test the DJGPP version on MS-DOS/MS-Windows.  
Therefore, a probability that DOS- and Windows-specific bugs will remain 
undetected is quite high.  

I am asking DJGPP users to help me test this major new version.

If anybody out there has some time to spare, I'd appreciate if you write 
to me (use private e-mail, do NOT post to the DJGPP news group or the 
mailing list).  I will tell you where to download the latest pretest and 
send you a few patches that you will need to apply before building 
Emacs.  (Make sure you have 65MB of free disk space.)

Ideally, if you see a problem in the pretest version, you should debug it 
and send the necessary patches to the Emacs maintainers.  But even if you 
cannot afford to debug the problems, just finding them and telling me 
about them would be a great help.

Thanks in advance.
