What's the truth to the acronym, "Eight Megabytes And Continuously 
Swapping" ? I understand that Emacs can do stuff like syntax 
highlighting, spotting errors from your compiler and showing the line 
where this occurred, etc. just like an IDE. Can the DOS port of Emacs do 
this too with DJGPP? and how much memory does it *really* need?
