     I  completely  rewrote  mchan.c  for 4.2bsd to use pseudo  ttys  (I
started with a 4.1c  Gosmacs).    Since all the code is mine, anyone who
wants is welcome to  it.  However, it  is  not much use alone because it
requires hooks elsewhere,  notably keyboard.c. If  you  want  more  than
that, I'd  have  to refer  you  to our SA  (I  don't  know  what if  any
agreements may be in force wrt that  code, and I don't want to get us in
legal  trouble),  but  if  he  gives  me  the  OK I can send  you  up to
everything in the emacs source directory here.

     It was not particularly difficult.  I would expect a good hacker to
be able to do it in a week, a really good one in less; but even a wizard
would surely take at least a day.
