	Hi,

	I am trying to install GNU emacs V18.57 in a VAX running
	VAX-VMS 5.1, and i have the following problem:

		$ emacs foo.c

	the result is that i get a buffer named loadup.el and no foo.c !!!

		$ emacs foo.c bar.c

	results in the buffer dump !!!

	if i give more parameters emacs crashes.

	In the file BUILT.COM there is a line with

		$ temacs -l loadup.el dump

	I beleave that there must be some relation with what is apening.

	I have followed all the instructions to build emacs on a VMS.
	I got the sources from a unix distribution.

PS. I'm sorry for my poor english. I hope you understend what is
    the problem.
