We are a new site and have been following the GNUEmacs discussion for several weeks. The one thing we have not seen is how source distribution is handled. Any help would be appreciated. We don't know the size of the source, but understand it is several Mb. This makes long distance uucp expensive. We can handle 8in. SSSD floppy. (We also have cpmutl7). We have 1/4in. cartridge tape on our Altos 68000 but may not be able to read your tar. We would be happy to experiment. There is also a possi- bility of reading standard computer tape on a local Vax, but we are not certain of this. Please let us know what our options are. Thank you, Bob Peirce

Please post that info to the net. I am looking for GNUmacs for the HS-20 (Masscomp).

If you are going to post a request 'how am I going to obtain GNUemacs' please include roughly where you are geographically located. I am sure many sites, noticing you are up or down the block, will offer to let you drop by and fill up a tape (B.U. will.) -Barry Shein, Boston University then again, if you were in Boston you would have walked over to 545, sigh.

> If you are going to post a request 'how am I going to obtain > GNUemacs' please include roughly where you are geographically > -Barry Shein, Boston University Abject appologies to net.emacs (na). I just assumed everybody's software prints the organization data like mine does and would show I am in Pittspurgh, PA. Observe, I have added a signature block to reduce future problems. At any rate, Barry Shein's follow-up suggests there is no formal method of distributing GNU Emacs and I must find someone who is willing to give it to me. Therefore, to repeat, I run Sys III on an Altos M68000 based machine (The old one, not the new 3068.) which has a quarter inch cartridge tape drive and an 8 in floppy. Tape transfer is not likely to be possible with a different box, but I am willing to experiment. The floppy can handle several formats, the safest is probably standard IBM sssd. I also run cpmutl7 in this format. Depending on where you are and the size of the source, which I am told is quite large, I can also poll you on a uucp connection or use cu on a guest login. If anybody is willing to help, please contact me. -- Bob Peirce, Pittsburgh, PA uucp: ...!{allegra, bellcore, cadre, idis} !pitt!darth!investor!rbp 412-471-5320 NOTE: Mail must be < 30,000 bytes/message
