6.11 Emacs for DOS

From the Emacs FAQ of November 11, 1996:

--begin quote
93: Where can I get Emacs for my PC running MS-DOS?

A pre-built binary distribution of Emacs 19.34 should be available by the beginning of November 1996 from the Simtel archives, the main site of which is at

ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/

If you prefer to compile Emacs for yourself, you will need a 386 (or better) processor, and are running MS-DOS 3.0 or later. According to Eli Zaretskii eliz@is.elta.co.il and Darrel Hankerson hankedr@dms.auburn.edu, you will need the following:

Compiler: djgpp version 1.12 maint 1 or later. Djgpp 2.0 or later is recommended, since 1.x is being phased out. Djgpp 2 supports long filenames under Windows 95.

You can get the latest release of djgpp by retrieving all of the files in

ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp

Gunzip and tar:

The easiest way is to use "djtar" which comes with djgpp v2.x, because it can open gzip'ed tarfiles (i.e., those ending with ".tar.gz") in one step. Djtar comes in "djdev201.zip", from the URL mentioned above.

Utilities: make, mv, sed, rm.

All of these utilities are available at

ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu

16-bit utilities can be found in GNUish:

ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/gnuish

The file INSTALL in the top-level directory of the Emacs source contains some additional information regarding Emacs under MS-DOS. In addition, the file etc/MSDOS contains some information on the differences between the Unix and MS-DOS versions of Emacs.

For the most comprehensive information on running GNU Emacs on a PC, see the file prepared by Michael Ernst mernst@theory.lcs.mit.edu at

ftp://theory.lcs.mit.edu/pub/emacs/pc-emacs.gz

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.
