I still want to do that. Heck, maybe I'll even make an official port / package for "current" and "beta". But that's assuming it's "good enough" for real use (as few bugs as possible, no obvious lacking features that can be easily repaired). But C-x C-v crashes on either DJGPP (Vista or real DOS) or Cygwin for me. Author can't reproduce it just yet (Linux host). Also "M-x shell command" doesn't work ("assumes a POSIX shell"), isn't successful on Vista (DJGPP build), won't even halfway try on DOS (can't open pipe). Author also doesn't plan to do any #ifdefs (doh), sticking strictly to POSIX. :-/ > echo (needs -std=3Dc99 so use a recent GCC, e.g. 3.2.3, preferably newer) Supposedly does NOT need C99, but for some reason both DJGPP and Cygwin are using it ("-std=3Dgnu99"). Whatever, no harm no foul I guess. > 1). Basically ./configure only checks for -lcurses or -lncurses , but > since I was using pdcurses, I had to change it.

Ideally, in a perfect world, with bugs fixed and shell commands working in DOS, this would be a nice little editor. The only other tiny 32-bit pmode (no low file size limits) Emacs I know of is a Digital Mars compile of an old (Conroy-based) MicroEmacs, which isn't quite as comfortable as this one (and I think it lacked some things). Also, that Huffman extender hates modern Windows (but there's a Win32 build too). ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/me.zip
