> I can't run emacs when I have my computer set up for djgpp.

Oemacs uses a custom go32 which is not compatible with the standard one.  The
solution I recommend is
  1. rename the go32.exe which came with oemacs to go32-oe.exe
  2. change the line in the oemacs batch file which starts oemacs to
     something like:
     %HOME%\bin\go32-oe %HOME%\bin\emacs.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
There are variants to this solution.  If the oemacs bin directory is not on
your path, you don't really need to rename go32.exe, but I do it anyway so I
don't have to worry about finding the wrong go32 if the bin directory happens
to be the current directory.
