well, really,  when I was young I had used that version of Emacs
as well...

No, seriously, I'm pretty sure that nobody of us still has
access of such a prehistoric version of Emacs.

We *did* support Emacs 19.34 for quite a long time even into the
age of Emacs 21.1,  but we have dropped support for it a while ago.

Is it impossible for you to get a current version of GNU Emacs
(21.3) installed on your computer ?
