To unpack Emacs with djtar, type this command:

    djtar -x emacs.tgz

(This assumes that the Emacs distribution is called `emacs.tgz' on
your system.)  There are a few files in the archive whose names
collide with other files under the 8.3 DOS naming.  On native MSDOS,
or if you have set LFN=n on Windows 95, djtar will ask you to supply
alternate names for these files; you can just press `Enter' when this
happens (which makes djtar skip these files) because they aren't
required for MS-DOS.

When unpacking is done, a directory called `emacs-XX.YY' will be
created, where XX.YY is the Emacs version.  To build and install
Emacs, chdir to that directory and type these commands:

if you run Emacs under MS Windows.

Emacs on MSDOS finds the lisp, etc and info directories by looking in
../lisp, ../etc and ../info, starting from the directory where the
Emacs executable was run from.  You can override this by setting the
environment variable HOME; if you do that, the directories lisp, etc
and info are accessed as subdirectories of the HOME directory.

MSDOG is a not a multitasking operating system, so Emacs features such
as asynchronous subprocesses that depend on multitasking will not
work.  Synchronous subprocesses do work.
