Nope. Just looking back through my emails for unresolved issues. Did as
you said. No sign of bare emacs. Definitely not on the Linux Complete
disks for 7.2 or on the Updates disk. Download version must be more
complete (!). Downloading distributions is totally unfeasible for me with
a 28.8 serial modem. No CD writer either.
