The "real" GNU Emacs runs OK on an '030 (or at least, it does on
mine).  It does, however, have some unstable parts.  I can crash
it reliably by trying to use file completion several times in a row
when it doesn't complete anything.  When those few things get fixed,
it will be a reasonable tool.  You can use it effectively now if
you remember what not to do :-)
