Anyone out there uses Emacs 23 under dos? See above: it doesn't currently work, so no one can use it. Not that I see how this is relevant: all I'm asking is not break it more than it is already broken, so that the efforts to revive it won't be harder than they have to. The cost of this request is so low that I'm bewildered why I need to justify it each time.
