[comp.emacs] GNU Emacs version

rmf@actnyc.UUCP (Robert M. Fuhrer) (04/09/88)

Where is it possible to get the latest version of GNU Emacs via uucp,
ftp, etc.?  It appears that 18.51 is available, although I have not seen
in the last few weeks any mention of its source.  We are currently running
18.37, which by the looks of it is rather outdated... Please e-mail
responses so as to avoid repeating something which may possibly have been
hacked to death...

Thanks...

I just now checked on prep, and 18.50 is the latest thing available
there.  If you can ftp, look in /u/emacs for edist.tar-18.50.Z.  If
you can't ftp, you can UUCP it from osu-cis.  From the volume of my
mail, it seems we're due to re-post the instructions to
comp.sources.d, so look there in a little bit if you don't have the
info already.

Quite.  You ought to upgrade.  Lots of compatibility enhancements and
bug fixes have gone by since 18.37.
