I ftp'd to cc.utah.edu, got the file 00readme.txt, set binary, got the
file emacs-18-52.bck_z, got the file decompress.exe, then ran
decompress as explained in 00readme.txt.  On a uvax 2000 running VMS
5.0-2 this ran for a long time and then bombed with

	Decompress didn't finish correctly.
	Error when decompressing "emacs-18-52.bck_z" to "emacs.bck".
	%SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort

I know nothing about the Vomit Making System; I'm just doing this as
an exercise to see if I really can get emacs up on it.  The tcp/ip
software is something we bought from MultiNet.

Does anybody know why this doesn't work?  Is there a compiled emacs
somewhere that I can ftp so that we can have emacs on this machine?
