Hi!

I'm running the djgpp port of GNU Emacs v19.34 for msdos and would very
much like to use Hyperbole v4.022(a lisp package that works with GNU
Emacs).
Is it possible to use it(and other lisp packages such as edb) with the
djgpp port of GNU Emacs on msdos? If so, how do I go about "adapting" it
considering that the file names referred to in the *.el, *.elc and
Makefile etc gets truncated in msdos? What files do I need and what do I
need to do to run "make"(except "make").			

I've installed djgpp emacs so that it has support for long file names
and so that I can use it on Windows 95,
can that be of any help? I've put make.exe(mak375b.zip) in my hyperbole
directory and ran it but it it aborted with the message:

"\test -f hsite.el || \cp -p hsite-ex.el hsite.el
Unknown command "\TEST"
No command name seen.
make.exe *** [hsite.el] Error -1

In the Hyperbole "readme" file it says that it has "further support for
ms-dos" so I should be able to use it.

Does any documentation exist about adding additional lisp packages to
ones djgpp emacs installation? I've looked around a lot be but haven't
found anything.

Any help would be "extremely" appreciated!
