Recently there was a discussion about the comparative merits of Epoch
and Lucid Emacs. I have seen Lucid emacs in action once and am
interested in getting the sources and trying it out. I would
appreciate getting information as to where I could get the Souces
and/or binaries for Lucid Emacs for Sun Sparcs.

Thanks in advance

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 :-)

-----------------

  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 -".
