The FAQ dpsm> explains how to do this--use gnu make compiled with djgpp. This remains a big hurdle indeed. I had to keep tweaking my memory configuration to get past this one. I'd heartily recommend that you give 19.29 a try. There is one small glitch, a declaration conflict in gmalloc.c (just comment out the faulty declaration, it from an unused function) and you'll find you're far better off. Some annoying bugs are fixed, most notably the `extended character bug'.
