When unpacking Emacs is done, a directory called `emacs-XX.YY' will be
created, where XX.YY is the Emacs version.
On plain DOS, unpacking can complain about several directories and
files in the `nextstep' subdirectory of the `emacs-XX.YY' top-level
directory. This is because the names of these files overflow the
67-character limit on the file-name length imposed by DOS filesystems.
When prompted by `djtar' for a different name for these files, just
press [Enter] to skip them: they are not needed for the DJGPP build.
If you want to print international characters, install the intlfonts
