EMACS on a VAX
>From Ryland@SRI-KL Fri Feb 19 11:06:57 1982
I've heard from Dave Kashtan that DEC has ported EMACS to VMS natively
(using their new VMS C compiler, which is supposedly a wonderful
compiler). Mayhaps Dave knows when DEC may release such a beast.
[ Editor's note: David sent me the following further information. It
probably doesn't help Steve very much, since he wants an Emacs-like
editor without hassling about licensing (either Eunice, Unix Emacs,
or DEC C. He's just a user on that system, not a system
administrator). But the information seems of general interest to
editor-people. /jqj ]

It is true. I have a tape in my office of an OLD version of EMACS that only
uses the DEC supported runtime system for VAX-11 "C". They are supposed to
send me a new version when it is ready. I don't know how hacked it is, since
I haven't had time to look at it yet. I also don't know what the availability
of this will be since you will have to get permission from Jim Gosling and DEC
in order to run it.
