Warren's emacs would have been part of the Bell Labs 'exptools' 
(experimental tools) package, which was an internally distributed 
package of 3rd party software that wasn't part of the standard UNIX 
distributions at the time.  vi/termcap/termlib was also part of exptools.

If exptools isn't preserved anywhere, it would be worthwhile to try to 
find it.  Noel - it's possible that's what you have. I can't find it 
anywhere else easily.
