I haven't been able to test recent code for DOS until Wayne's tip about
the stubedit fix for djgpp. The main fix that I have found needed for
functionality on DOS is to ifdef out all the "chmod 600" lines that were
put in for security. The djgpp version of chmod doesn't understand octal
notation (for that matter, DOS doesn't really understand permissions);
these changes make the files unusable by lynx. I compiled version ac-0.38
yesterday with chartrans, and it seems to work after the chmod changes.
I'll try to check the more recent code and post a patch with the DOS
changes soon.
