In response to some requests, I've built an installer package
containing the executables, etc directory, and elisp library for
emacs-18.59. Note that this is ONLY good for 3.0. I've posted it to
cs.orst.edu in pub/next/submissions; I tried to put it on sonata, but
couldn't get the upload to go through. I'll try again later. The
contents of an associated README file are included below.

Emacs-18.59.tar is a tarfile containing a version of this README and
the file emacs-18.59.pkg, an installer package for NS3.0.
This package contains a complete, compiled version of the FSF's latest
version of GNU-emacs, 18.59. It was compiled under NeXTSTEP version 3.0,
and will only run under that version of the operating system. The total
size of the installed files should be ca. 7216K.
It should be installed in /usr/local, since the built-in load-path (for
finding elisp files) and exec-path (for finding the executable and other
files in the etc directory) are set to /usr/local/lib/emacs/{lisp,etc}.
The executables emacs, etags, ctags and emacsclient will be installed in
/usr/local/bin.
You should probably keep the original version of emacs (and its supporting
files in /usr/lib/emacs) at least until you are sure this version works on
your system. To use emacs-18.59 (instead of the emacs-18.55 supplied by
NeXT), make sure that the directory /usr/local/bin appears in your
executables path (determined by the PATH shell variable), and that it is
ahead of /usr/bin.
I have also included the elisp files eterm-{fns,mouse,low}.el{,c} and
term/eterm.el in the /usr/local/emacs/lisp directory. These files were
taken from the Emacs distribution, which provides a NS front end for
emacs. If you don't currently have this package, get it from one of the
ftp sites: the elisp files included here are only a part of it, and are
included just to save you the effort of copying them from elsewhere if
you already use it.
Problems with this package can be reported to me; problems with emacs
itself, of course, can be addressed in various newsgroups or reported
to the FSF.
