Subj:	GNU Emacs patches for VMS, ver 3.1.12

			GNU EMACS 18.59 PATCHES FOR VMS
				version 3.1.12

			      Created 5-APR-1993

	This is a set of patches which makes GNU Emacs work a lot
	better on VMS. Among the additions and changes are:

		- DECWindows interfacing
		- Pseudo-ttys
		- Subprocesses a la UNIX
		- Networking a la UNIX
		- Better handling of VMS files and directories,
		  with completion of both file names and directories.
		- Display of 8-bit characters (I've use the works of
		  Howard Gayle.)

	To get these patches, just send a message to emacs-fileserv@e.kth.se
	with this line:

		SEND EMACS-1859-PATCHES

	This set of patches is around 2.8Mb worth.

	To be able to apply the patches in this kit, you need the UNIX
	patch for VMS. You may get it by adding the following line to
	your message:

		SEND DIFF-PATCH

	That kit is also available on most VMS archive sites.

	Also, these patches are a continuously evolving project. Bug
	fixes and further enhancement are provided as soon as possible.
	Send this line to emacs-fileserv@e.kth.se for more info:

		LIST EMACS-1859-UPDATES

	Some packages have also been fixed/built to work on VMS. 
	For example GNUS 3.14.1 (Which I'm using from my VMS account
	at this very moment).

	For further info, send this linen to fileserv@ttt.kth.se:

		LIST EMACS-C-*
