Subject: djgpp and oemacs configuration

According to: Stephen Benson <stephenb AT scribendum DOT win-uk DOT net>

   I was wondering if anyone was using oemacs with djgpp to create a
   full-on development environment - with info (which seems to be

What do you mean by "full-on"?  If you mean full-screen "Borland
Turbo" style, I think all you really need to do is use the M-X compile
command (or whatever, that may be the ELisp byte-compiler); it runs
make by default as I recall.  However, you will probably run into RAM
cram in that case:  GO32 (in its .maint2 vintage) required 150 KB
resident for each invocation, plus an additional 30KB at startup, for
a grand total of 4*150+30 = 630KB free DOS (under 640K) memory
required.  (GO32 will be run separately for each of OEmacs, Make, GCC,
and the compiler itself; it's not reentrant.)  Unless you're using
QEMM with Vidram, you probably don't have that much free :-(
    Where did you get oemacs?  If you got the full package, there is a
file called oe41info.zip or some such.  When I picked up the OEmacs
distribution, it was missing the info file for the supercite package,
which you can get in the usual places.

   absent from the oemacs package), binutils etc. I've been
   experimenting with oemacs (djgpp port) for a day or so and it's
   pretty  good. But I'm not too au fait with emacs and would like to
   see the _emacs file etc for a full-blown gnunix type installation.
   So if anyone can help... much gratitude, tia
