Yes, this editor is called ELLE (ELLE looks like Emacs).  Missing things are:
no command-line mode, no modes in general, max two windows and a few other
things.  But this editor is able to edit files up to 600 and more KBytes.
If you want more features for smaller files, use MicroEmacs.  I have version
3.8b up and running on PC MINIX 1.5.10.  Files are restricted to 23 KBytes
in length, but ther features are fine.  Both are so fast, that I never have
to wait for them.
