We aren't going to \streamline/ it---the port will be of the full 2.10
(or later) Unix version.  What I am working on right now is a
self-paging system that will let all the versions of Unipress Emacs run
reasonably on non-virtual memory machines.

The sources are moby, ~ .9 MB, but they compile down to a 250K or so
image (generic 68K pcc compiler.)  We should be able to slim it down a
bit further, and the self-paging system will allow you to specify how
much additional memory to use for buffers, electric-c mode, etc.

Note: We're doing the Amiga port mostly out of love for the Amiga (it's
the personal computer preferred by two out of three Unipress technical
staff members...) and it will take a while to do correctly, but it will
be affordable and spiffy when we do get finished with it.
