Emacs 17.45 is now available as /u2/emacs/edist.tar-17.45
and also as diffs from 17.43 in diff-17.43-17.45.
The diffs are about 150k of diff -c output, about half of
which pertains to documentation files.

I have seen this version work, including subshells,
on the hp9000s200 with all non-system-V features disabled.
Therefore, I am pretty confident that the full functionality
works now even on a mere unameliorated system V.

In addition, 17.45 comes with a portable alloca emulator
for systems that can't swing alloca for real.  Define
C_ALLOCA to enable its use.  This comes from D. A. Gwyn.

In regard to the hp9000: I believe that several very different
machines are called "hp9000" and that the versions of hpux that they
run support different facilities.  The one supported now is a very new
machine containing a 68020.  Running the current Emacs on older kinds
of "hp9000" probably does still require some work.
