- YES! Get a copy of the original tar of GNU Emacs. I told you this a few
- days ago when you asked the same question. It will make your life alot
- less complicated! Besides, since you already have the binary, you
- don't have to compile it. The main distribution includes all of the
- files that you are missing, and I wouldn't run Demacs lisp files under
- real GNU Emacs anyway.
