The MicroEmacs editor in net.sources (posted for Amiga) is public
domain, and exceedingly portable. Perhaps someone could compile that for
Macintosh for you. All that should be needed are suitable routines for
reading control characters from the keyboard and positioning the cursor;
nothing terribly complex.   Note that taching it to do windows Mac
style, and use the mouse, and suchlike, would involve much more effort.
But if all you want is a simple Emacs, that might be worth considering.
I am in fact using it to compose this (on a VAX). It works.
