See my reply to news article 1930 in this news group.  To summarize:

(1)  pipe() and getname() are VAX C RTL functions, change EVERY 
     occurence of pipe() and getname() in ALL of the source files
     to something else (do it with the pre-compiler if you can 
     figure out how)

(2)  in order to get vt100/vt200 keypad support, you have to hack 
     the getcmd() and get1key() routines in input.c.  the problem
     is that the vt100 commands are three characters, (e.g. "\033OM"
     is the <enter> key) and microEMACS only understands one-character
     prefix strings.  the fix is not hard, but I can send you a few 
     lines of code if you really need it.

(3)  use VMSVT 1, ANSI 0, and you get a program which can run a vt100,
     vt52, AND an adm3a (that's almost as good as /etc/termcap!)
