@cindex MS-DOS peculiarities
- This section briefly describes the peculiarities of using Emacs under
-the MS-DOS ``operating system'' (also known as ``MS-DOG''). If you
-build Emacs for MS-DOS, the binary will also run on Windows 3.X, Windows
-NT, Windows 9X/ME, Windows 2000, or OS/2 as a DOS application; the
-information in this chapter applies for all of those systems, if you use
-an Emacs that was built for MS-DOS.
-
- Note that it is possible to build Emacs specifically for Windows NT/2K
-or Windows 9X/ME. If you do that, most of this chapter does not apply;
-instead, you get behavior much closer to what is documented in the rest
-of the manual, including support for long file names, multiple frames,
-scroll bars, mouse menus, and subprocesses. However, the section on
-text files and binary files does still apply. There are also two
-sections at the end of this chapter which apply specifically for the
-Windows version.
