    Emacs is not trademarked.  ...
    There is not much point in writing a new, extensible Emacs, and trying
    to market it any more (since anyone can get GNU Emacs for free).

  Well, GNU Emacs is not available for MS-DOS machines.  It requires
525k of memory, which is more than most MS-DOS machines have
available anyway.  And it costs $165 to order.
  I think there is a great market for an editor which has everything
Emacs has EXCEPT the built in Lisp, and which is relatively small and
is available for for $30 to $60 or so.
