VMS info:
Emacs 19.x and above do not compile out of the box on OpenVMS.
Richard Levitte <levitte@lp.se> is distributing and maintaining a
version of Emacs (currently based on version 19.28, but soon moving to
19.34 and then 20.1) that compiles and works on OpenVMS 5.5 and above
on both VAX and Alpha architectures. For more information see
http://vms.gnu.org/software/released1/emacs.html#get_emacs_1928_kit
There is also some effort going on with Emacs 21. Source code is
available at ftp://ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/vms/emacs/. Look for most
recent stuff with ls -lta.
It is a working "development" version (editing and much more works).
More developers are needed; contact roart@nvg.ntnu.no.
