[I would imagine that this Emacs binary would work with other distirbutions
as well, not just Slackware. (Assuming that pathnames are identical.) --mdw]

a slackware1.1.1 precompiled binary by deng@ifcss.org for Multi-lingual
Emacs (Mule) is now available from

ifcss.org:/software/mule/slackware-1.1.1-mule-1.0.bin.tgz 

Mule can handle not only ASCII characters (7 bits) and ISO Latin-1 to 5 (8
bits), but also Japanese, Chinese, Korean (16 bits) coded in the ISO2022
standard and its variants (e.g. EUC, Compound Text).  For Chinese there is
support for both GB and Big5. In addition, Thai (based on TIS620) and
Vietnamese (based on VISCII and VSCII) are also supported.

A text buffer in Mule can contain a mixture of characters from these
languages.  To input any of these characters, you can use various input
methods provided by Mule itself.  In addition, if you use Mule under some
terminal emulator (kterm, cxterm, or exterm), you can use any input 
methods supported by the emulator.
