Well, to write with a broad brush, Freemacs has several distinguishing
characteristics:

  o 100% 8088 Assembler.  Fast, unportable.
  o Programmable in a real (though funky) programming language, MINT.
  o 17K of Assembler, 60K of MINT (MINT is not TRAC).
  o 64K limit on file size :-(  This usually decides it for most people.

I am (all too) slowly bringing Freemacs into compliance with GNU Emacs.
It was written to the TECO Emacs manual.  Please feel free to flame
me about non-conforming features.
