Honestly, I don't remember wether my diffs went in, or if the next centiversion
of Emacs "just had" ConvexOS support before I submitted mine. I suspect the
latter, and that Convex did the work themselves. They actually shipped with
Stallman emacs at one point, I think.

But yeah, it was fun to figure out where in the *@!*@! address space the
executables and data space etc. lived, and to make undump work.

ObTrivia: They also shipped with perl, and had rewritten some sysadmin tools
to be perl scripts. Back then, when perl was small, fast and powerful, and 
would guess even more than nowadays.
