   Still can't find any version of GNU Emacs before 18.55 but I found
   this:

Well, not really "GNU" Emacs, since the GNU project didn't exist at
the time, but we have Emacs written in Teco by Richard and co. running
here on occassions on ITS (in a emulator sadly, since we can't afford
the electric bill for the PDP-10, grrr).

I don't know, since I didn't setup the emulator, sorry.  I only use
it.
