I have been trying to install emacs on a DECstation 5000/125 running Ultrix
4.2a. Having found emacs-18.58 in need of too much fiddling I tried
DS-8bit-emacs-18.57 which compiles quite nicely.

I now have a small problem with the mouse button response. While I can cut and
paste as root, when any other user invokes emacs they only get double beeps
when they use the mouse in the emacs window. I have no idea what might cause
this problem. Does anyone else?

I would also like to know if anyone has later versions of emacs running on
DECstations and where to get such source code.

Thank you in advance, and apologies if the answer is obvious,
	Paul McGinnie
