(This assumes that the Emacs distribution is called `emacs.tgz' on
-your system.) There are a few files in the archive whose names
-collide with other files under the 8.3 DOS naming. On native MSDOS,
-or if you have set LFN=n on Windows 95, djtar will ask you to supply
-alternate names for these files; you can just press `Enter' when this
