Some months ago I did a partial (with some bugs) implememtation
of GNU Emacs 17.49 on our Ridge (BULL called here) machine under ROS 3.3
(a UNIX look-alike with some System V and some BSD 4.2 features).
Some days ago I found about the existence of this news-list
(so I havn't read many of the previous contributions),
and now I have some questions:

- has anybody done a (full working) implementation of Emacs (and
  what version?) for ROS 3.x ?
  (in the moment we have some problems with the shell-on-region and
  similar commands, with the ^G aborting, with file-insert (where
  Emacs doesn't see all files that he should), and some more...)

- what is the presently distributed version of GNU Emacs? (18.45??)
  Is there anyone in europe who owns an up-to-date distribution tape,
  or do I have to question for it in the US?
  (There seems to be no fast way to get a tape from west germany to US
  and back in only a couple of weeks...)

Thanks to everyone who answers
(via personal electronic mail or to the public list).

Juergen Wagner has 18.41.  The address I use to reach him is
unido!iaoobel!wagner.  He sent me a tape in late March, on which I
dumped 18.41 and sent it back to him.  I believe he got it in
mid-April, and has offered to do European redistribution.  Drop him a
note.  He's in Frankfurt.
