I've heard from Dave Kashtan that DEC has ported EMACS to VMS natively
(using their new VMS C compiler, which is supposedly a wonderful
compiler).   Mayhaps Dave knows when DEC may release such a beast.

[ Editor's note:  David sent me the following further information.  It
  probably doesn't help Steve very much, since he wants an Emacs-like
  editor without hassling about licensing (either Eunice, Unix Emacs,
  or DEC C.  He's just a user on that system, not a system
  administrator).  But the information seems of general interest to
  editor-people.    /jqj ]

It is true.  I have a tape in my office of an OLD version of EMACS that only
uses the DEC supported runtime system for VAX-11 "C".  They are supposed to
send me a new version when it is ready.  I don't know how hacked it is, since
I haven't had time to look at it yet.  I also don't know what the availability
of this will be since you will have to get permission from Jim Gosling and DEC
in order to run it.
