Well, after installing DJGPP, Emacs just completely will not run.  When
I attempt to excecute it, a message is displayed (and erased before I
can read it) and the program finishes.  But, coming from a DOS
background, I think I'll stick to RHIDE.  I don't understand UNIX enough
to use Emacs (Does this mean I shouldn't be using DJGPP either??). 
Anyway, that's about it:-|
