Thanks, but I cannot take this credit.  Most of the hard work of making
Emacs work on MSDOS was done by others.  That initial effort of porting
Emacs to DJGPP required much better knowledge of Emacs internals than I'll
ever have and was done quite a while before I switched to using Emacs
exlusively.  I only made it compile with DJGPP v2 (and even here, some
really nasty bugs were solved by others) and fixed some problems related
to long filename support.

While the instructions that John posted are correct, you can read them in 
more detail in the file INSTALL which comes with Emacs (look near the end 
of that file).
