For those of you who are looking for Emacs for the PC, I have a 
suggestion which I can't back up, but which might help.

MG, which is a hacked down version of Gnu Emacs (not officially
recognized by Gnu, but people tell me it works good), has source
for a DOS version. You need the standard Unix code (available
somewhere on the net for FTP), and a few mods which I got from the
folks who wrote MG. With these, it is theoretically compileable on a 
bunch of Unix boxes, as well as Dos. Its executable is supposed to be
about 64k (good for DOS) and it implements most of Emacs.

The docs with the standard release mention who to call to get the DOS
stuff. I haven't tried it because it supports 2 C compilers (MSC and 
something else) which I dont have. If you get it going let me know.
If you cant find it, let me know & I'll dig up my copy.
