-The Mac version requires compiled Lisp files to be present in the lisp

-the Lisp source files. One way of getting the compiled Lisp files is
-to build Emacs once on, say, a Unix system and transfer that directory

-An alternative is to unzip and untar the archive lisp-elc.tgz. An

-Mac version starts up. If this is the case, simply remove or rename

-out-of-date Lisp files.

Emacs should build and run on a PowerMac running Mac OS 8.1 - 9.0.
