91: Where can I get Emacs for my PC running MS-DOS? Emacs 19 (versions 19.23 and later) should compile right out of the box on PCs with a 386 or better, running MS-DOS 3.0 or later. You will need the following: Compiler: djgpp version 1.11 maint 4 or later. You can get the latest version by grabbing everything you see at: ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/msdos/djgpp Tar: One DOS version of tar is available at ftp://ftp.urc.tue.nl/pub/unixtools/dos However, not all DOS versions of tar work equally well, so you might have to try others if this one gives you trouble. The versions known as tar4dos.zip and ltarv3.zip are also supposed to work, as well. Utilities: chmod, make, mv, sed, rm. All of these utilities are available at: ftp://ftp.iro.umontreal.ca/pub/Internet/gnuish You should grab the files futil4ax.zoo (contains chmod.exe, mv.exe, and rm.exe), sed106ax.zoo (contains sed.exe), and gzip07ax.zoo (contains gzip.exe). The file etc/MSDOS contains some information on the differences between the Unix and MS-DOS versions of Emacs. If you would prefer not to compile Emacs by yourself, you can get binaries for Emacs 19.24 at ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/ibmpc/editors/emacs19.24 ftp://ftp.imada.ou.dk/pub/mirrors/msdos/emacs-19.24 OEmacs (see question 92) also runs under MS-DOS. For a list of other MS-DOS implementations of Emacs (and Emacs look-alikes), consult the list of "Emacs implementations and literature," available at ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/comp.emacs Note that while many of these programs look similar to Emacs, they often lack certain features, such as the Emacs Lisp extension language.
