I'll let someone else do the VMS stuff. DECUSLIB has a copy of GNU Emacs 15, possibly the very first public release. Some day, if a free time slot appears, I'd like to try to get the early Unix Emacsen running in their natural Berkeley habitat. I'd probably run a VAX emulator for that. > > Or how about TECO EMACS?

I was hinting a the very real EMACS-11 by Fred Fish. Here's a net.sources post from 1984, and a tarball from Pete Siemsen: https://groups.google.com/forum/message/raw?msg=net.sources/qBRfbEjrGV8/3t35z8XYq8IJ http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/unix/editors/teco/emacs11.tar.Z Again, I'd love to see this running, but I'm starved for time right now. (Aren't we all?)
