(This assumes that the Emacs distribution is called `emacs.tgz' on
your system.)
+If you need to type international characters, you will need to unpack
+the Leim distribution (see the description near the beginning of this
+file). You unpack it from the same directory where you unpacked
+Emacs. To unpack Leim with djtar, assuming the Leim distribution is
+called `leim.tgz', type this command:
+
+ djtar -x leim.tgz
+
+If you want to print international characters, install the intlfonts
+distribution. For this, create a directory called `fonts' under the
+Emacs top-level directory (usually called `emacs-XX.YY') created by
+unpacking emacs.tgz, chdir into the directory emacs-XX.YY/fonts, and
+type this:
+
+ djtar -x intlfonts.tgz
+
When unpacking is done, a directory called `emacs-XX.YY' will be
created, where XX.YY is the Emacs version. To build and install
Emacs, chdir to that directory and type these commands:
config msdos
make install
+To install the international fonts, chdir to the intlfonts-X.Y
+directory created when you unpacked the intlfonts distribution (X.Y is
+the version number of the fonts' distribution), and type the following
+command:
+
+ make bdf INSTALLDIR=..
+
+After Make finishes, you may remove the directory intlfonts-X.Y; the
+fonts are installed into the fonts/bdf subdirectory of the top-level
+Emacs directory, and that is where Emacs will look for them by
+default.

Building Emacs creates executable files in the src and lib-src
directories. Installing Emacs on MSDOS moves these executables to a
sibling directory called bin. For example, if you build in directory
/emacs, installing moves the executables from /emacs/src and
/emacs/lib-src to the directory /emacs/bin, so you can then delete the
subdirectories /emacs/src and /emacs/lib-src if you wish. The only
-subdirectories you need to keep are bin, lisp, etc and info. The bin
-subdirectory should be added to your PATH. The msdos subdirectory
-includes a PIF and an icon file for Emacs which you might find useful

Emacs on MSDOS finds the lisp, etc and info directories by looking in
../lisp, ../etc and ../info, starting from the directory where the
