The following is from the FAQ. I've just started trying Lucid, and I like
it a lot. It's really easy to configure your own pull-down menus. We might
even get a user-friendly Emacs one day :-)
Quentin
-----------------
Lucid GNU Emacs 19.3 is now available. This is a version of GNU
Emacs derived from an early version of Emacs version 19 from the
Free Software Foundation.
You can get it via anonymous FTP from the host labrea.Stanford.EDU
(36.8.0.47). It is currently available only by FTP. We don't have
the manpower to make tapes right now.
Log in with the user "anonymous" and "username@host" as a password
(that is, your email address.) Execute the command "cd
pub/gnu/lucid/". These are the files you will find there:
lemacs-19.3.tar.Z
The complete source distribution. This file is about 8 megabytes.
When untarred and uncompressed, the source distribution will take up
about 20 megs. You will need an additional 12 megs or so to compile it.
lemacs-19.3-sun4.tar.Z
This is a ready-to-run set of Sun4 executables, and a DOC file. If
you want to use these executables, you will still need to get the file
lemacs-19.3.tar.Z, because Emacs cannot function very well without the
lisp library online. This file is about 1.7 megs, 3.8 megs when
unpacked, 3 megs of which is the Emacs executable itself (2.1 megs if
stripped.)
Don't forget to set "binary" mode when transferring these files.
Unpack them with some variation of the command "zcat
lemacs-19.3.tar.Z | tar -vxf -".
