There is a program called ELLE (ELLE Looks Like Emacs) which gives you
basic editing functionality, and even has a sort of C-mode. I have used it
on small-model MINIX, and it was great.
It is available (via FTP) at plains.nodak.edu
in directory /pub/Minix/all.contrib/Elle41

There is a lot of code, but it shouldn't have to be hacked too much. You
may have to change the #includes to match coherent's directory structure.
It's about (I think) 400K of 13-bit compressed shar archives. There is
an executable, but it's for minix.

I really have to recommend MINIX over coherent, at least until this 386
version comnes out. My MINIX - 386 is running the real emacs 18.55 right
now!
