Why not apply for a free account on one of the two Digital-sponsored
DEC OSF/1 AXP systems?  Telnet to axposf.pa.dec.com or axposf.stanford.edu
and log in as axpguest, no password.

However, I think that most of these tools have long since been ported to
Alpha.

Er, GNU Emacs 18.59.1 comes with OSF/1. It's on the CD, in subset OSFEMACSnnn.

18.59.1 is too old.  I even could not install ispell-3.1.13 with it.
I had to compile 19.28 for installing ispell, although the
compilation was quite smooth.

You did?  When I tried it, it said that it was not ported to the Alpha 
yet but should be with 19.29 or something like that.  What did you alter 
in it?

There is patch for Alpha on gatekeeper. Read the file:

    ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/GNU/emacs-19.28-alpha-patch.README

The patch is actually for  19.26.
