I do know what I'm talking about, microemacs in the three flavors I know
will not run reasonably on CP/M-80 (which is what I said originally).
Nowhere did I say anything about MSDOS or CP/M-86.

As should be clear from the header file quoted in this unthoughtful reply,
CP/M-86 is supported just fine.  Most any x86 has the memory to support it.
You do not have enough with a 60K TPA on CP/M-80.  That's what I said,
and that's what I meant.

Informed flames burn.  This is just aggravating.
