On labs-n.bbn.com ( 4.3 system), I have installed the emacs that comes with
the 4.3 BSD release tapes as user contribued software.  The version is
17.71, dated Dec. 31, 1986.  So we are in between the version on BBNV and
the latest announcement (still being tested somewhere?).

As Vaxes are upgraded to 4.3 we will install the latest version.

On 4.3 BSD systems:
I propose putting the latest version in /usr/local/nosupport as gnu-emacs.
The emacs and emacs.85 in /usr/local/bin will also be moved to 
/usr/local/nosupport.  

Your question about rmail is being forwarded to the emacs-lovers group.  
I would also like to consult with a gnu-emacs user to see whether
the default setting for the names of certain files and directoreis
that Emacs refers to is set up correctly.  On bbn-labs-n the file I
question is /u2/ucs/emacs/lisp/paths.el.  Any user out there want to
try the new gnu-emacs?

I was wondering what versions of GNUEMACS other people at BBN were
running.  On BBNV the latest working version i've found is

16.56.10  (Feb 11 1986)

Richard Stallman has just announced 18.35.

Is there something in between at bbn i can upgrade to?

Is there anyone trying to keep a reasonably up to date version?

I have been using Jim Larus' mh-e mailer because i could never get
rmail to work.  Could someone show me how rmail works?
