Emacs 19.31 and higher versions were designed to compile under DOS using
djgpp, mostly because of the hard work of Eli Zaretskii, one of our
resident gurus.  :)

Steps:
*  Download the emacs sources.
*  Use the djtar program included with djgpp to extract them.  This
program is capable of converting the Unixy filenames to things DOS can
recognize.  If running under Win95, make sure you either have long
filenames off or turn off the NameNumericTail option in the registry.
*  Run the 'config.bat' script with 'msdos' as the target.  It will
verify that you have djgpp installed and tell you what additional
utilities you may need, like 'sed' and the GNU fileutils.  These are
both available on SimTel.
*  Run 'make install' from the main emacs directory.

Ka-blam!  You're done.  :)
