I downloaded the emacs binaries, unzipped them in my cdjgpp directory. I
edited my Autoexec.bat file (Win98) to include:

set PATH=C:\cdjgpp\BIN;%PATH%
set DJGPP=C:\cdjgpp\DJGPP.ENV

I then restarted the computer.  I tried to run emacs from the DOS prompt and
it did not work. (I compiled and ran hello world fine using edit) I forget
if I got a response more complex than  "bad command or file name".

Is there something else I need to do in order to install emacs, i.e. add
another path setting?  Or should this basic installation work and I am not
supposed to be trying to invoke emacs from the DOS prompt?

If neither of these is true whats the problem?
