+VMS info:
+
+Emacs 19.x and above do not compile out of the box on OpenVMS.
+Richard Levitte <levitte@lp.se> is distributing and maintaining a
+version of Emacs (currently based on version 19.28, but soon moving to
+19.34 and then 20.1) that compiles and works on OpenVMS 5.5 and above
+on both VAX and Alpha architectures. For more information see
+
+ http://vms.gnu.org/software/released1/emacs.html#get_emacs_1928_kit
+
+There is also some effort going on with Emacs 21. Source code is
+available at ftp://ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/vms/emacs/. Look for most
+recent stuff with ls -lta.
+
+It is a working "development" version (editing and much more works).
+More developers are needed; contact roart@nvg.ntnu.no.
