3b1 installation problem

Dear emacs,

	emacs-18.58 did not run successfully on a 3b1 running the unix
V 3.5 OS.  The machine has 4Meg of RAM and a 40 Meg hard disk, 30%
free.  I thought I did everything right.  I ran

make install.sysv

after selecting the m- and s- files corresponding to the 3b1 7300.
The last step of installation did not take place, I got the error
message
"cannot load cpset."
So I moved $BUILD/src/xemacs to /usr/local/bin/emacs
and when I type 
emacs
I get the error message
"cannot load termcap database."
But there is a file called 
/etc/termcap
I'm not sure it's the right one.  If there is a correct one can you
send the termcap file to me!

	I then tried it again after commenting out the last few lines
of the m-7300.h file.  Now I get error messages like
"Memory fault"
or
"Bus Error"

	I was optimistic that emacs would compile on the 3b1 since
Stallman had made an entry in the Changelog in 1989.

	By the way, I am only interested in running emacs on a 3b1 if
the 3-button mouse can be enabled to cut, copy and paste as one can in
the X-Windows emacs.  If you know that this is impossible, I'd be glad
to abandon the project.

Thanks,
Bill Richter
