In GNU Emacs 18.41.1 of Tue Aug  4 1987 on karhu (hpux)

Last night I managed to get GNU Emacs running on this HP9000/840. I
had to define CANNOT_DUMP. There were in fact very few problems, once
I defined DATA_SEG_BITS, DATA_START (as 0x40000000), and
STACK_DIRECTION. There are some remaining problems: Emacs doesn't seem
to be able to turn the ^Z (susp) interrupt off, but the suspend-emacs
function works OK. ptys also don't work.

Next I guess I will have to dig into the a.out format (or perhaps System V
shared memory) to get some kind of unexec and/or shared pure lisp code.
