Bell Labs emacs

I recently obtained AT&T Bell Labs emacs, version 4.9b, released in 1986
(from the STORE!) and written by Warren Montgomery.  It's nice in that 
it is quick to load (unlike GNU) and supports the mouse on my console 
(unlike uemacs or jove).

What bothers me about it is it doesn't do reverse scrolling (I hate
screen redraws when backwards scrolling), and doesn't use the termcap
or terminfo database (it has its own term description file).

I'm wondering if there is a newer version of Bell Labs emacs that 
corrects these problems and/or adds new features/capabilities.
