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.
