The FSF distributes, on 3.5 inch 1.44MB diskettes, some of the GNU software ported to MS-DOS. The disks have both sources and executables.
Demacs is a version of GNU Emacs 18.55 ported to MS-DOS, with some changes from Emacs 18.57. Two versions are actually included: one which handles 8-bit character sets; and one based on an early version of MULE which handles 16-bit character sets including Kanji. We distribute them on five diskettes.
Demacs runs on Intel 80386 and 80486--based machines running MS-DOS. It is compatible with XMS memory managers and VCPI, but not yet with Microsoft Windows extended mode or other DPMI managers.
We distribute DJGPP on 22 diskettes. DJGPP requires at least 5MB of hard disk space to install, and 512K of RAM to use. See `GNU Software Available Now" for more information on DJGPP.
The GNUish MS-DOS Project releases GNU software ported to PC compatibles.
In general, this software will run on 8086 and 80286--based machines; an
80386 is not required. Some of these utilities are necessarily missing
features.
Included are:
cpio,
diff,
some file utilities,
find,
flex,

We are distributing versions of GNU Chess and gnuplot ported to
