517 If you are compiling on an MSDOG-like system which has long file
518 names, you may need to do `SET LFN=y' for some of the commands,
519 especially the compilation commands. It might be more convenient to
520 unpack the Emacs distribution with djtar, which comes with djgpp;
521 djtar truncates file names to 8.3 naming as it extracts files, even if
522 the system allows long file names, and this ensures that build
523 procedures designed for 8.3 file names still work. Use as in `djtar x
524 foo.tar' or `djtar x foo.tgz'.
