   I built an Emacs on my Apollo station. It works fine, except a slow
initialization. In $EMACS/etc/APOLLO, it is mentioned that "The Apollo
has a bizarre operating system which does not permit Emacs to be dumped
with preloded pure Lisp code". It also mentioned that "Here is a design
for a method of dumping and reloading the relevant necessary impure
areas of Emacs".

  What I don't understand is whether this will solve the problem, and
how it can be done since I don't what to do after I looked the $EMACS/
etc/alloc.c file.

  Another question,can we still order "Emacs, the Extensible,
Customizable Self-Documenting Display Editor" and "A Cookbook for an
Emacs" from Publication Department of AI Lab with $2.50 and $3.00 each?
If not, where can I find a source to get them?


  Thanks.
