I tried to port this to several different PC's, all to no avail.
I'll tell you what I did and maybe somebody can tell me what I
did wrong.

	1. Remove the mailer info from both files.
	2. use cat to combine into one file.
	3. use uudecode (Berkeley 4.2 UNIX) to
		create emacs.exe
	4. use kermit image mode to transfer emacs.exe to a PC.
	5. try to run on several PC's.

The only one that came close was my own machine. It is a clone that has
both a Hercules-like monochrome graphics card and an IBM-like color
graphics card. I have two monitors:  monochrome and RGB.  I bring the
system up on the monochrome card and then say "mode co80". When I then
run emacs, it types the letter C on the color monitor and them quits.

Somebody might say that it is because it's a clone and the graphics is
different or the BIOS is different or something. However, I have
written my own screen handling routines in Microsoft C 3.0 and have NO
problems in either color or mono modes. Must have done something wrong
on the UNIX end(?)

Any ideas, anybody?
