Freemacs is a programmable editor. The .EXE file is only 21K because
it only contains a language interpreter and text editor primitives. The
bulk of the programming is done in MINT, which is a string-oriented
language. Freemacs is yet another Emacs clone. Emacs was first written
at MIT by Richard M. Stallman.
There are a number of Emacs clones for the PC available. Freemacs
has three distinguishing characteristics:
o Freemacs is free, and it was designed from the start to be programmable.
o Freemacs is the only IBM-PC editor that tries to be like GNU Emacs.
o Freemacs can only edit files less than 64K in length.
You may freely copy this software. I only ask that you send improvements
back to me for incorporation into the package for the rest of us. The
distribution is available from one or more of the following sources:
EMACS16 ARC The executables and MINT code.
EMACS100 ARC Zenith Z-100 version. Requires EMACS16.
EMACSPEL ARC Spelling checker.
EMACSEGA ARC A collection of EGA utilities
EMAC16S ARC The .ASM source.

Bitnet && UUCP:
Send mail to archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu. You may use
archive-server%sun.soe@omnigate if you are on Bitnet, or
{smart-host}!sun.soe.clarkson.edu!archive-server if you are using
UUCP. The mail message should consist of 'help'. If you do not
get a reply within a day, then your return path is broken. You'll
need to use the path command to give a mail address that our mailer
can grok. Our mailer can send mail to any address with an '@' in it,
with the exception of ".UUCP" pseudo-addresses.
Or else send $15 (copying fee) to the author. This will assure you of the
latest version. Please specify floppy format:
