- GNU Emacs as ported to OS/2 DOES NOT work under DOS. Demacs does work
- under DOS, but doesn't work under Windows nor under OS/2. There are a
- few Emacs-like editors which function with Windows, but I forget the
- names of them. You would have to read the comp.emacs FAQ to find out
- about them.
