There is a version on (some) simtel mirrors -- incomplete at Imperial
College, for instance -- in the msdos/editors directory.  This is its
announcement file.  Is this the same thing (it is somewhat patched) or
is it inferior?  The definitive answer probably ought to replace the
one currently in the Emacs FAQ.  Thanks for the efforts anyhow.

		    -*- Emacs Binary for MSDOS -*-

  This is the binary distribution of emacs 19.30 for msdos. Emacs is a
  versatile and extendable text-editor. This version contains some
  msdos-specific enhancements that are submitted to the emacs
  maintainers but have not made it into the 19.30 source code. To run
  emacs you need a 386 or better CPU, 4Mb or more memory and 15Mb or
  more disk space. The distribution consists of six files:

  * em1930.ann:   The announcement. You're reading it.
  * em1930x.zip:  The emacs exe and the minimum number of support
		  files. If you're curious, load up this and try it.
  * em1930l1.zip,
    em1930l2.zip: Lisp libraries.
  * em1930ei.zip: On-line manuals and support files.
  * em1930s.zip:  Sources of emacs, configured and patched for DOS. 
		  If you plan to compile emacs yourself, get this.

  You need em1930{x,ei,l1,l2}.zip to run emacs. Each of these fits on
  one 1.44 Mb diskette. Installation instructions are in readme.dos in
  em1930x.zip.
