I've seen several messages on this group implying that micro-emacs
could never fit on a 64kbyte system.  One version I know of (based on
an early release: 2.0 or 3.0) does run on os9/6809 level 1.  It does
have it's limitations: single window single buffer, maximum file size
about 16k.  (Level 2 could probably up this to 24k or more.) This
doesn't answer the original request of one for cpm-80, especialy since
z80 code is probably 50% bigger than 6809 code.  (If you can find a
heavily optimizing C compiler it might not be any bigger.  I've never
heard of one that can handle all the quirks of a z80 though.) If you
are interested, it is available from the os9 users group.
