One of the "home-brew" EMACS clones, or close to being home-brew, is
Epsilon, sold by Lugaru Software.  Don't let the fact that Lugaru Software
is pretty small disturb you.  Epsilon is darn impressive.  It's fast,
gives just about every capability of Gosling EMACS except undo, and the
documentation is quite good.

We've been using it for a while here, and we are enthused.  Some of the
people here who won't soil their fingers with a PC make an exception 
only because of Epsilon.
