I now have epoch 3.2 running on my Apollo node with Domain/OS sr10.3.

To quote from the epoch 3.2 announcement:

    Epoch is a modified version of GNU Emacs 18.55 with several major enhancements:

	o Multiple X-Window support
	o Marked and Attributed regions of text
	o Support for multiple fonts (fixed size), underlining, and
	  stipple patterns.
	o Asynchronous communication with other X-Clients (usually the
	  window manager)
	o Mouse-dragging with highlighting to support mouse-based cut-and-
	  paste.
	o Access to raw X-Window objects

I have merged some of Leonard Zubkoff's and John Vasta's changes to support
things like undumping into the epoch 3.2 sources.  I also cleaned up some
code and made fixes where things didn't compile.

The patches are available by anonymous ftp from dabo.ifs.umich.edu.
