   PCs with a 386 or better, running MS-DOS 3.0 or later. You will need the

   GUnZip and Tar:

-            need twice the required disk space while untarring the
-            archive).  You get `djtar' with the `v2/djdev200.zip' file from

   The file etc/MSDOS contains some information on the differences between
   the Unix and MS-DOS versions of GNU Emacs.
 
+  MS-DOS systems are notorious in the problems they present when installing

   If you would prefer not to compile Emacs by yourself, you can get
   binaries for Emacs via anonymous ftp from many sites; use your Archie
   client to search for them.
