You can find VAX and Alpha images (ue400vms-vax.zip, ue400vms-alp.zip)
as well as sources (ue400dev-vms.zip) in the decuslib, vmslt01b. There
is an announcement in vmslt01b/vu/vms-uemacs-ann.txt. It's 15 years old.
The sources have a copy right for 4.00 from 1995.

You can take whatever Linus was/is using, called uEmacs/PK. You'll find
it with the kernel sources. It is based on microemacs 3.9e, it's current
version is 4.0.15. Last change/update about two years ago. Surprisingly
it still contains VMS code, so you can build it on current versions of
VMS, but it lacks a build procedure.
