I finally got emacs up and running with djgpp but emacs is doing direct
screen writes.  When I used set term=ansi before running emacs I got the
error termcap data base not found and emacs exited.  There is a
termcap.src file under the etc directory.  Should I compile it to termcap
and if so what will compile termcap.src?  We had gotten these problems
solved a few years ago, but my hard drive died and wasn't backed up at the
time.  If possible I need emacs 19.34 to write to the screen the same way
printf() does in stdio.h.  Earlier emacs wouldn't run until I fixed the
path and environment statements in dos, but bash doesn't run from the
djgpp directory even with djgpp=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env set, so I'm thinking
not all applications are finding djgpp.env and its contents or perhaps I
have to update djgpp.env too.

A final set up question, I once read a command on comp.os.msdos.djgpp
which I used earlier that went out and found all installed info files and
updated the dir. file for me.  Does anyone know the command?  I'd like to
get all of the info files properly locateable.
