Subject: sh.exe in djgpp?
Precedence: bulk

Hi,

Is there a "sh" program in djgpp, i.e. a program to expand shar archives?

There was a question about emacs window not fitting on the screen in a
Windows 95 dos-box. The problem is that it doesn't fit with the size of the
characters which seem most appropriate. Furthrmore, in that case one can
scroll it with the mouse to see the invisible parts of the screen but (I
think) this service comes from Windows, not from emacs which doesn't know that.

Also, it is said in the documentation that one can work with long names if
the environment variable LFN is set to y. However, this doesn't work with
me. It seems that emacs exits during its initialization, there are no error
messages, the result of invoking emacs in that case is the same with any
program which executes silently and when finished returns to the prompt. 

regards,
Georgi Boshnakov
