All of this discussion on GNU Emacs for the PC has lead me to ask a couple of
questions:
1. Has it been ported?
2. Is the source available?
3. Is it in the public domain?
4. Based upon a 'yes' for #3: Where can I get it?
Thanks in adavnce....

No.

Yes.
3. Is it in the public domain?
No, but it has a copyright that will ensure it will remain freely copyable.
4. Based upon a 'yes' for #3: Where can I get it?
FTP to prep.ai.mit.edu, or buy the tape from the Free Software Foundation.
You're not going to get very far, since the executable alone is 1.2 meg, and
I'm told that its memory usage rapidly rises into the 3-4 Meg range.
But have you looked at Freemacs yet? It's freely copyable, programmable,
and tries to look like GNU Emacs. It's only major failing is that it won't
edit files larger than 64K, but I am finally working on fixing that...

If you can, help others.
If you can't, at least don't hurt others--the Dalai Lama
