1. If I'm using DJGPP and need editing files, I use emacs.

2. If I have a working DJGPP installation, I'd probably use emacs
instead of MS miserly programs for editing other things.

3. I used DJGPP mainly to mess with DJGPP, code for DJGPP libc and
Freedos. Occasionally I needed some C program I made also in WINDOWS,
so some very seldom other usage.

4. Today I never find time to have fun with DJGPP or Freedos (there
are other more fun things) so 1-3 isn't relevant.

5. Any DJGPP emacs would work for me. I don't need the latest.

6. If I ever need DJGPP again, I hope there some emacs compiled with
current DJGPP there for me.

7. Thank you Eli, Andris and Juan for the porting work.
