Hello,
I am trying to install gnu-emacs in an Apollo workstation
but the source I have is over 30 MB because it contains all the
object code generated during installation in a VAX780.
The question I have is whether I can safely write the command

% make distclean

however, in the Makefile there is a warning on performing this task.
Would I be deleting something important during the process ?.
What are my chances that I rebuild gnu-emacs, using distclean.
From a separate copy made with this command, the directory
reduced to 20.168 MB. 
Could you just tell me the size of the original distribution tape.

By the way, Could you send me a list of PUBLIC DOMAIN software as
this one that we could obtain ?

Thank you in advance
