The tar file Leonard Zukoff has made available is just the changes.  GNU
Emacs is available from prep.ai.mit.edu, in the file /u2/emacs/edist.tar.
There is also a compressed version, though I couldn't get a clean copy of
that (if you do grab the compressed version, remember that you'll have to
decompress it on a UNIX machine - it won't decompress on an Apollo).  Also,
when grabbing tar files, make sure to set your FTP mode to binary.

If you can't FTP, you can order it directly from the Free Software
Foundation, at a cost of $150 for a tape containing GNU emacs, GDB,
MIT Scheme, Hack, Bison (yacc), the X window system and GNU chess.  For
an additional $15 you can get a manual.

The FSF address is:

        Free Software Foundation
