I have written a true, extensible emacs for MS-DOS. It's written in 8086 assembly, so don't think about porting it to Unix. It runs on the Z-100 and IBMPC, and I believe that it can be ported to the other non-IBMPC compatible machines as well. Now available from SIMTEL20: Filename Type Bytes CRC Directory PD:<MSDOS.TEXT-EDITOR> FREEMACS.ARC.1 BINARY 108928 DB06H FREMCSRC.ARC.1 BINARY 113280 676DH Freemacs is a true Emacs editor. The .exe file is only about 16K, just enough for a screen and buffer handler and a programming language, MINT. Freemacs is largely written in MINT, and so is easy to modify. MINT is not TRAC, in case you were wondering what MINT stood for.

Do you think you can mail me the IBM-PC version. I can use both the object (in case my assembler is too old to assemble it) as well as the assember source (in case I want to fiddle with it, which is extremely unlikely.)
