I compiled  18.41 (using the UNIXpc  3.5 compiler, etc) and  it worked
without  a hitch (there is a  7300.h, but it seems  to be  for the old
pre3.5 software).  (1MB RAM, don't know if it matters.)

When I say it worked fine, I mean without the  "unexec()" option.  So,
all that lisp gets loaded up each  time.  Takes about  2 minutes.  I'm
sure glad that GNUemacs is  a program you stay in  for a while, but it
makes it useless  as an   escape  editor for   mailers and the    like
(obviously,  you can solve the  mail  problems by  using GNUemacs mail
stuff, but the more general problem continues).

Anyhow, I asked a couple weeks ago in comp.emacs  if anyone had gotten
GNUemacs  to run on  the 7300  with the preloading.   No response.   I
fiddled with  it for a  couple days  and gave up.   Not interested  in
learning 68010 assembler just now.  If anyone has gotten this to work,
I'd like to hear about it.

Also, if anyone is interested, I'd be happy to pass along the modified
congifuation headers, although it's pretty easy to do.
