im having problems running emacs, ie when i run emacs.exe it immediately
returns back to the prompt displaying for a _VERY_ short time `end of
file during parsing' message on top of the screen just before it
restores the original dos screen (i dont know if there is any more text
displayed after  that message since i can barely see first few chars of
that message under  right retrace conditions)  

so far ive unzipped preserving dir structure: csdpmi3b,bnu27b,djdev201,
gcc2721b,txi390b,gpp2721b,lgp271b,grep20b,emacs1934 b,r1,r2,r3,s1,
mak375b, fil313b,sed118b, ive added emacs\bin & djgpp\bin to my path and
set the environment variables, im running dos 6.22 

i also ran:  config msdos
       and:  make install  which gave me:

 *** no rule to make target `test-distrib', needed by `test-distrib.c ..

i looked up the error in `problems' file and it tells me that i need to 
have the latest version of sed (i have sed v1.18 which is the latest i
think)

can emacs run under 8.3 filenames?

thanks in advance... Robert Kosmalski
