- 63: How can I create or modify new pull-down menu options?
-
- - Pull-down menus are a new feature in Emacs 19, and are available only
- - when Emacs runs directly under a window system. (Thus Emacs run under X
- - Windows can display pull-down menus, but Emacs run inside an xterm
- - cannot.)
- -
- Each menu title (e.g., Buffers, File, Edit) represents a local or global
- keymap. Selecting a menu title with the mouse displays that keymap's
- non-nil contents in the form of a menu.

- Emacs 19 places nearly everything in version-specific directories (e.g.,

- when installing a new release are /usr/local/bin/emacs and the Emacs Info

- 93: Where can I get Emacs for my PC running MS-DOS?
-
- Emacs 19 (versions 19.23 and later) should compile right out of the box
- ! on PCs with a 386 or better, running MS-DOS 3.0 or later. You will need
- ! the following:
-
- ! Compiler: djgpp version 1.11 maint 4 or later. You can get the latest
- ! version by grabbing everything you see at:
-
- ! http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/
-
- ! Tar: One DOS version of tar is available at
-
- ! ftp://ftp.urc.tue.nl/pub/unixtools/dos/
-
- ! However, not all DOS versions of tar work equally well, so you
- ! might have to try others if this one gives you trouble. The
- ! versions known as tar4dos.zip and ltarv3.zip are also supposed to
- ! work, as well.
-
- ! Utilities: chmod, make, mv, sed, rm.
-
- ! All of these utilities are available at:
-
- ! ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/vendors/gnu/gnuish/
-
- ! You should grab the files gnufut21.zip (contains chmod.exe,
- ! mv.exe, and rm.exe), sed106.zip (contains sed.exe), and

- ! Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>, you will need the following:
-
- ! Compiler: djgpp version 1.12 maint 1 or later. Djgpp 2.0 or later is
- ! recommended, since 1.x is being phased out. Djgpp 2 supports
- ! long filenames under Windows 95.

- ! You can get the latest release of djgpp by retrieving
- ! all of the files in
-
- ! ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2/
-
- ! Gunzip and tar:
-
- ! The easiest way is to use "djtar" which comes with djgpp v2.0,
- ! because it can open gzip'ed tarfiles (i.e., those ending with
