I've heard GNU Emacs was removed mainly because it took up so much disk
space. 

Instructions for installing GNUEmacs under A/UX 1.1 were printed in
either MacUser or MacWorld sometime this year in a short article.


You can find GNU Emacs already configured for AUX via FTP from
apple.com.  I forget what version was there, but it was at least 18.51,
and it was pretty huge (well over 1MB) so I didn't get it.  BTW, GCC
1.35 was also there for FTPing, and is patched for AUX. 
        AUX versions of GNU Emacs and GCC were there a couple weeks ago,
but with all the flack by FSFers against Apple for their law suits, I
suppose they could have disappeared since. I hope not.

If you don't want to have GNU Emacs eating tons of disk space, you might
want to consider one of the small emacs-like editors.  I plan to use Ken
Mitchum's AUX port of Jonathan Payne's JOVE editor when I get my AUX
machine going.  JOVE has the emacs commands and modes that I use most
often, and is reasonably compact and fast.  Versions of JOVE 4.12
configured for both AUX and the MacOS are available via FTP from
cadre.dsl.pittsburgh.edu. 

Hope this helps,

-Jon
