Pilling's is in fact MICRO emacs, not Gnu Emacs, though this is often
hard to tell from his adverts.

I looked at Gnu emacs a couple of years back but was put off by the
degree of unixisms it needed -- just about everything talks via
processes if I remember right.  But that was pre-riscos days; maybe
you could use one of the UnixLibs to mount it nowadays?  Maybe you
could even write a socket library using the Wimp.
