"** The following platforms will be removed in a future Emacs version:
If you are still using Emacs on one of these platforms, please email
emacs-devel@gnu.org to inform the Emacs developers.

...

*** Platforms not supporting shared libraries (i.e., requiring the
NO_SHARED_LIBS compilation flag)."


Um, against whom and why exactly is that being done? (I smell a rat.)
Yes, okay, so DOS and DJGPP don't exactly support shared libraries
(does DXE3 count? doubt it ...). Heck, even the third-party hack that
*does* fully support it isn't really maintained (GCC 4.0.1, 2.04 beta,
ELF-based), and it probably needs its own unexec written from scratch
in order to work.

In short, yes I still use DOS, please do not obsolete it. Why so much
effort to obsolete stuff? I mean, if GNU Emacs is useful and portable,
why break it on purpose?? Remember that FreeDOS + DJGPP are both "free
software".
