Hello,

Am trying to run the latest Emacs under Freedos (with DOSLFN), and
when starting it from the Emacs/bin directory, it seems to work fine
(but not exactly starting instantly). From the top level I get this:

  C:\>emacs
  Warning: arch-dependent data dir Ąc:/djgpp/gnu/emacs/bin/˘: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
  Warning: arch-independent data dir Ąc:/djgpp/gnu/emacs/etc/˘: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
  Warning: Lisp directory Ąc:/djgpp/gnu/emacs/lisp˘: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
  Error: charsets directory not found:
  c:/djgpp/gnu/emacs/etc/charsets
  Emacs will not function correctly without the character map files.
  Please check your installation!
  C:\>cd \djgpp\gnu\emacs\bin
  C:\DJGPP\GNU\EMACS\BIN>

I suppose a work-around might be a "emacs.bat" file that cd's first?
Or should I try an earlier version?

The machine has, I believe, 2 GB RAM.
