I was told that a version of Epoch for NeXT existed and was available
cs.uiuc.edu.

I spend much time and money to download the 5 megabytes of this archive (named
epoch-next.tar.Z in the directory pub/epoch-files/epoch) only to discover:

- there are 2 executables, each being 2.1 megabytes. 

- there are all .o,  a new-temacs (1.7 mega) and a temacs (1.7 mega)

- these executables hard wire the load path of emacs.

- if you try to recompile, you get mucho errors, and no README or HELP to
explain how the guy got the binaries...

- the archive does not contains the lisp library,

- etc...

All that to say that I am really pissed. I basically downloaded 5 mega of
useless garbage. I do not know who put this archive in place, but he may as
well remove it...

A definitely more usefull things to do would be to make a full distribution
(sources only) available which compiles on the NeXT as is (or a diff of the
standard epoch 3.2), adn thi would be much smaller than 5 megas...

BTW, the epoch-NeXT.tar.Z on cs.orst.edu *AND*  sonata.cc.purdue.edu are
corrupted.
