Don't use `tar', use `djtar' that comes with DJGPP v2 (It also decompresses .tar.gz archives on the fly, so you don't have to ensure you have twice the required disk storage while you run the pipe `gunzip -c emacs.tar.gz | tar xvf -', due to the fact that pipes are disk files on MS-DOS.) I really think this should be printed in CAPITAL LETTERS in the install notes. I actually used DJTARX the first time - but, alas, it was from V1 not V2.
