HB,

If you apply for an account on the VAX-11/780-5 at Living Computer Museum and
note that you want to install Emacs in the optional "Describe your interest"
box, I'll mark your account request High Priority if you do that.  I would love
to see Emacs on this system myself, but I have no time to track down a freeware
CD to install it; I have other system projects with higher priority.

This VAX is running 7.3 with TCP/IP Services.  It is in a museum setting, so
uptime is not guaranteed, but it generally runs 24x7.

Once the installation is done, we can announce its availability here.
