FYI, the reason I had trouble recompiling initially was due to not unpacking the *.elc files. (I was trying to use my 150 MB RAM drive. Alas.) I guess the makefile didn't like those missing. Otherwise fairly straightforward, though I still needed to use $(CURDIR) in two makefiles due to FreeDOS.
Anyways, we haven't heard back from the OP, so I don't know if he is able to rebuild it himself or not. That kinda bugs me, heh. I have my own (very very) wimpy source patch to fix it, but it's far from optimal.

See? :-))
For simplicity and easier deployment, I'd almost rather we had a small binary patch for EMACS.EXE, so I tried to make my own. It seems to work, but it's very rough, so perhaps it's not totally flawless (huge understatement).
I basically just hacked around in raw assembly via HIEW. It's quite weird seeing GCC output, esp. because it (sometimes) does some unusual things. Long story short, I'm basically moving, calling the patch (more or less just "and blah, 0xDF" for a rough toupper() functionality), returning, etc. Ugly, confusing, difficult, probably not ideal, but it seems to work.
BTW, I didn't use "cmp -l" because I hate octal. Then I had to use sed to mask FC's unnecessary 8-bit output so nobody would complain.

I don't really know of a better way to binary patch things outside of manually writing my own wimpy .c program to do so (as I've done twice fairly recently). Maybe CWS knows, maybe bdiff or xdiff or whatever else I'm forgetting. Bah.
Feel free to suggest another solution.
