Sure it's all right for you to have this code.  Just follow the legal
agreements posted all over the source.  Everything is kosher as long
as IBM no longer distributes it, as I understand it.  Since anybody can
ftp the s- and m- files that you already have, I don't see why you
can't redistribute them.

But don't quote me.  :-)

I have received one email request to obtain the specifics of the
lawsuit that was threatened.  If the net is dying to know, I will
discover them.

Yes, the 9005 emacs compiles fine under the gold code for me also.
Nothing was changed other than s- and m- files, as far as I can tell.
