[gnu.emacs] Standalone Elisp?

hugo@griggs.dartmouth.edu (08/03/89)

Here's a question I bet you get a lot:

How hard would it be to remove from Emacs everyting but the ELisp
interpreter?  I want to build something around Elisp that is similar
in spirit to what you must be doing with Emacs/X, but maybe more
general (maybe not though, I don't know enough about emacs/X to
comment). 

I want to use Elisp for 3 reasons:

1) I am very confident that it works.
2) It is pretty small (compared to Common Lisp, or say, MIT scheme).
3) It has all that code for handling text, processes, and file I/O.

Thanks a bunch,
Pete
