Since I am the person who put the epoch stuff there, let me apologize for
not cleaning up the distribution.  It's certainly NOT our intention to
place sofware that doesnt work, but it does happen.  

Instructions for setting the LOADPATH are prominently contained in the
Emacs manuals, READMEs, etc.  We DO assume that people know how to do this;
as Epoch has become more widely used, this assumption is less and less
valid, and our installation docs will (hopefully) be better in Epoch 4.0.  

The version of Epoch-next on cs.uiuc.edu is rather old right now; given OS
changes since I released it, it probably doesnt work on the NeXT anymore.
I have a new version here and have installed it on cs.uiuc.edu.  I'll post
another note about that in a minute.

The new version is clean (ie no core or .o files) and takes 3.9Meg of disk
space in compressed form.

Again, my apologies for any inconvenience.
