I am trying to get the 18.51 emacs to operate on my Apollo 3000
running SR10.2.  I received the Apollo distribution tape from the
local (Austin,TX) HP office.  I was told that I could simply load it
and execute it, but it didn't work.  I have the folowing problems:

1. Immediately upon logging on, the message 
	(CMDF) /user_data/startup_dm.1280bw - name not found from
		( stream manager/IOS )

	I was told that this is sort of like a startup script such as
.login or .cshrc;  does it set any terminal-related variables?  If it
does, that may explain problem #2.

2. when I try to execute emacs, I receive the following set of
messages/errors: 
	Start of data space has moved from 63e00 to 0; running bare
		Emacs... 
	emacs: cannot open termcap data base file

	I am able to examine the /etc/termcap file; it has permissions
644.  My term variable is set to "apollo_1280_bw", and there is an
entry in the /etc/termcap file for that particular terminal.  

Does anyone have any idea of what to try next?

Please respond via email since I don't have regular access to news
postings. Thanks for your time and the help.
