No, according to the GNU Emacs Manual by Richard M. Stallman, GNU
Emacs is the Unix/GNU incarnation of the advanced, self-documenting,
customizable, extensible real-time display editor Emacs.  It is a "real"
Emacs, as opposed to nonextensible editors with Emacs-like command
bindings ("ersatz emacses").  At least, that is the distinction that
RMS makes, and he is the author of both GNU Emacs and the original (Teco)
Emacs.

>Any interest in implementing TECO on an ST? Is this a sick idea?
Yes, it is a sick idea.  A TECO with enough stuff to run TECO Emacs,
even if such a thing is possible on an ST, would result in an Emacs
almost as big as GNU Emacs.  Porting GNU Emacs is probably a reasonable
idea for a 2MB+ ST, as mentioned here before.
