I don't know if JOVE bothers paging to disk, but the version I have 
running on my little VAX 11/750 here occupies 140288 bytes.  A bit
too much for a CP/M system, but it seems to have something over the
other uEmacses, like 3.7 and uGNU.  For one, reasonable on-line help; a

	M-X add-?

Would show me all the possible options in a window.  And it has the capability
to run shells right there in a JOVE window.

MicroGNUEmacs occupies 210944 bytes on my VAX, and lately its my editor of
choice overall.  Mainly because I have it running on my Amiga, and its very
smart about Amiga mouse events and the like.  JOVE is only running on the
VAX at the moment.  Though if you're looking for a CP/M Emacs (real CP/M,
right, with the Z-80 and all, not a 68000 CP/M-68K or anything) I'd
suggest looking up an older MicroEmacs if you're up to doing the port
yourself.  Some of the older ones run in 64K or less on my Amiga here,
which would probably shrink quite a bit on a Z-80 system, especially if
you downcoded a few modules to assembly language (nearly every uEmacs
I've seen is written in C, which of course lets it run on nearly any 
large memory machine, and even IBM PC clones without too much trouble).
