I use Moshe Braner's GNOME (Generally Not the Original MicroEmacs).
In the UK it's available at the National Public Domain Software
Archive at Lancaster: uk.ac.lancs.pdsoft (login as pdsoft with
password pdsoft). I don't know about elsewhere. It will run as an
accessory or a program. It can also be compiled for MS-DOS and Unix.
Moshe used to provide a floppy with the latest version on for a
small handling charge, I don't know if he still does. He is/was
e-mailable as braner@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu
