This link sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. But I have it mirrored.

I found a copy
of GNU Emacs 13.8 which I believe is the first version
to be distributed. It has the Gosling display code.
Wow! Where did you find
this? Online? What OS does it run on - ITS? Is it available for
something like Unix?
I haven't tried to compile it, but my guess would be 4.2 ish BSD.
Whatever BSD was contemporary around 1985 I suppose.
I did try 16.56 on 4.1BSD, but it wasn't an immediate success. Some
things seemed to be missing from BSD.
4.3BSD came with a copy of GNU Emacs 17.61.
