I am wondering why there is no available msdos port of GNU emacs.  The obvious
answer seems to be emacs' size.  If this is indeed the reason, how much memory
would emacs need?  Considering that there is an Atari ST port which I assume is
smaller than 1 meg, it would seem that one should be able to port it to msdos
if you used a dos extender.  Has anyone done this?  It would sure be nice to
have emacs at home.
