I believe a set of diffs to Gnu Emacs were posted recently in net.emacs
to enable it to run on the 3b series. We were thinking of installing
Gnu emacs on a couple of 3b2s here but decided not to because we weren't
sure if the 3b's had enough swap space to handle Gnu emacs.

You can also try Jove (Jonanthan's Own Version of Emacs). It is a subset
of emacs that should be enough for most needs. I am not too sure about
the capabilities of jove because I haven't used it too often. You can
probably install jove on a 3b2 without too many problems because it is
not as big as Gnu and doesn't try to do as many things. Also I recall
seeing a "#define SYSV" in tune.h in the source for jove (so fancy
berkeley features are not necessary).

Both Gnu emacs and Jove were distributed in the "user contributed" software
tape for 4.3 bsd. Any neighbouring berkeley unix site should be happy to
give you a copy.
