The subject line says it all. I'm looking for emacs for a PC (as much like GNU emacs as possible), and would like to know what is out there and where I can find the latest versions. Please e-mail responses, and I'll post a summary if there's interest. Thanks, Dave -- David M.

Freemacs is a programmable editor. The .EXE file is only 21K because
it only contains a language interpreter and text editor primitives. The
bulk of the programming is done in MINT, which is a string-oriented
language. Freemacs is yet another Emacs clone. Emacs was first written
at MIT by Richard M. Stallman.
There are a number of Emacs clones for the PC available. Freemacs
has three distinguishing characteristics:
o Freemacs is free, and it was designed from the start to be programmable.
o Freemacs is the only IBM-PC editor that tries to be like GNU Emacs.
o Freemacs can only edit files less than 64K in length.
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
distribution is available from one or more of the following sources:
EMACS16A ARC The executables and MINT code.
EMACS100 ARC Zenith Z-100 version. Requires EMACS16.
EMACSPEL ARC Spelling checker.
EMACSEGA ARC A collection of EGA utilities
EMAC16AS ARC The .ASM source.
