MICROemacs is so called because it is a hard coded emacs that lacks the
on-line reprogrammability of emacs.  MICROemacs incorporates neither
a mock lisp nor a full lisp interpreter (ala. GNU emacs).  The source,
however, is readily available for those who like to "roll there own"
and a little C code can produce the environment you like.  The benefits
are a fast and relatively small editor. A set of
revisions to make microemacs 3.6 look like gnu emacs was posted within
the last couple months.  I can't testify to their efficacy because
I am used to Gosling emacs and I found the GNU rebindings a pain so
I didn't install them.
