There are several groups working on porting GNU EMACS from UNIX to VMS.
I am only one of these folks and I have lots of other things that need
to be done first, others will have the ports done before I finish mine.
GNU EMACS is a public domain EMACS and is available on many ARPA and
UUCP sites. GNU EMACS run very well (comparable speed to CCA and Gosling's)
but is very large. When it has been ported to VMS, there won't be much
reason to buy CCA or UNIPRESS EMACS.

FOO, don't expect that GNU EMACS is really in the public domain. UNIPRESS
seems rather annoyed that there are large portions of it that are marked
copyright James Gosling.

I was afraid of something like this (ie, the copyright James Gosling stuff).
The tape also distributes source to dbx. I've been deleting it when I pass it
on unless I know that the site has a source licence. What to do? Maybe RMS
will settle all of this?

Actually, I heard that RMS was whining about the whole matter.

Does anyone know where/how I can get this? (Public Domain Emacs).
Thanks,

Subject: GNU EMACS from Harvard (new information)
Date: 1 Apr 85 19:03:09 GMT

GNU EMACS is available on harvard via anonymous ftp. Please do transfers
during off hours.
There are two files:
~ftp/gnu/compress/emacs.tar -tar format
~ftp/gnu/compress/emacs.tar.Z -compressed tar format
emacs.tar.Z is compressed using the compress program distributed on
net.sources a while back. It isn't the most recent copy (unfortunately).
The source is in the file ~ftp/gnu/compress/compress.c. To decompress do
"compress -d -c emacs.tar.Z >emacs.tar".
Earlier versions of the compressed format were done using a version of
compress that had several serious bugs in it.
Send questions, suggestions, etc. to gnu@harvard or sasaki@harvard.

it's also available at mit-prep, but I think they kill their ftp demon after
about 9pm. it's pretty speedy getting it from harvard, if you follow his
request about doing it during off-hours.
GNU emacs has some bugs -- it's still under development, incredibly -- but it
is already the best emacs I've ever seen.

I am sad to say that I do not have a working version of GNU EMACS for
VMS. I am working on the port as are several other groups around the
country. When I have finished the port, or when one of the other groups
finishes their port, I will post a message and make the source available
for FTP. I will also be happy to deal with tapes.
Again, I do not have a port of GNU EMACS for VMS. Please refrain from
asking me for a copy of something that I don't have. I am as anxious as
everyone else to get GNU EMACS running on VMS. I have been using it on
UNIX systems, and find it superior to other versions of EMACS.
I will be happy to continue distributing the UNIX version. I try to get
the latest versions to Harvard as RMS makes them available.
