Here is some news on the VMS GNU Emacs project.

I've finally managed to get most of the beginning-of-term/install-
VMS-4.2/install-cluster-hardware/expand-decnet/purchase-laser-printer/
find-laser-printer-software/and-other-stuff-I-can't-remember mess that
I've been in for the past 4 weeks or so. It is now time to pursue VMS
GNU Emacs in earnest.

I've received offers to help from the following people:

	Todd Aven (manager@umdhep.bitnet)
	Brian Cabral (cabral@lll-crg.arpa)
	Kevin Carosso (engvax!kvc@cit-vax.arpa)
	George Carrette (lost your address, could you send it to me?)
	Nigel (nrh@lznv.uucp)
	Eric Stern (stern@bnl.arpa)
	John Zoll (zoll@cmu-psy-a.arpa)

Anyone else interested in helping with the GNU Emacs on VMS project
should contact me as soon as possible. Don't be bashful, even if you
don't have much system hacking experience, you can help out. There are
both hard and easy things to do, and there is a lot of code that needs
modifying. 

Details, assignments, etc., will go out very soon. I've decided to
scrap my early efforts and start fresh. with a little organization,
this should all be done very soon.

I've been considering setting up a info-gnu-emacs-vms mailing list
which would allow talking about implementation issues, initially, and
problems and suggestions about VMS GNU Emacs in general once things
get rolling. Is anyone interested? Does anyone have software to do
mail redistribution and such?--
