I have successfully installed 18.44 on VMS 4.5. 

You can not (I was not able to) transfer compiled lisp code (.elc)
from Unix to VMS. After you have build an emacs, you can go back 
and use the batch-byte-compile command to produce .elc files.
This works well.

The problem with emacs hanging I have experienced also. 18.44
does not seem to read your local terminal environment as it did 
(so I was told) in 17.64. I have only gotten it to work by defining
emacs_term to vt100 or some other value from TERMCAP.DAT. 

Good Luck,
