Yes, there is a version ported to the RS6000, but it is using code older
than was release with Emacs 18.57.  I have Emacs 18.57 running on my
RS6000, with a working dumped Emacs.  It would be a non-trivial amount
of work to port the new changes from Emacs 18.57, even the AIX-specific
changes, to Epoch 3.2.

Oh well -- no one else has spoken up; if I get it done, I'll let you all
know.
