Actually, it was the emacs-19.28.tar.gz from my Linux Developers cd, just a copy
of what's at the FSF, I believe.

I don't have ftp access :-( (I do email with cc:Mail).  The djgpp I got is from 
a simtel cd.  The emacs that was on that same cd (emx1928) didn't work properly,
was missing some .el files etc., so I thought I'd work on it myself.

The problem with emacs is keyboard wierdness.  If I do "C-h c" and then control 
uparrow, I get "C-@ is set-mark-command" 

Do you know what the changes are 19.28 -> 19.29 ?  Are the patches small enough 
to be mailed?

BTW: I got the make-docstring to work: do a coff2exe on it and call it directly 
instead of "go32 ../make-docstring"
