I use Calc on Emacs on MSDOS.  The original distribution needs to be
patched before it will byte-compile and work on MSDOS (names of some .el
files clash in the DOS 8+3 namespace), but other than that it works just
fine.

If the above is the *exact* command line you tried to use, please quote 
*.h, like so:

       find . '*.h' | xargs -r grep 'include'

(`find' wants to expand the filenames itself).  The above works for me,
both on Windows 95 and plain DOS.  If the quotes don't help, please see
if you are using the latest ports of GNU Findutils from DJGPP v2.01 (the
.exe files should be dated Oct 19, 1996).  One possible cause of your 
problem might be that you are inadvertently invoking an incompatible 
version of xargs and/or grep (maybe even not compiled with DJGPP).  If 
grep is not a DJGPP program, xargs might invoke it with too many 
arguments.

No, you aren't.  Windows has its own built-in DPMI server, and the DJGPP 
startup code detects this and doesn't load CWSDPMI.
