$ Switch to GNU emacs.

I'd love to run GNU Emacs on my Xenix system. But with only 4MB of
memory, a 42MB SCSI disk, and a 12.5MHz 286 that's not enough resources
to run GNU in a nice manner. (read: not enough resources for a resource
hog) Don't get me wrong, I love GNU Emacs and would love to run nothing
else, but not a machine this small. MicroEmacs is my only other feasible
choice. Ver 3.9e is only a 120K image on the disk and won't consume
a quarter of my free disk space with runtime files.
