I have written a true, extensible emacs for MS-DOS. It's written in 8086
assembly, so don't think about porting it.
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.
This is the first off-campus release of Freemacs, and so is probably
buggy. I don't know of any bugs, of course, otherwise I'd fix them and
they wouldn't be bugs anymore.
You may freely copy this software. I only ask that you send improvements
back to me for incorporation into the package for the rest of us. The
