Freemacs

Freemacs is an opensourced Emacs clone written by Russ Nelson for DOS. Currently it is included in the FreeDOS project, and is maintained by the FreeDOS founder, Jim Hall. Because its target OS is DOS, it is written to be as small as possible: the executable binary in the current 1.6 version is only ~21k in size - most features are implemented in MINT (Mint Is Not Trac), a "string-oriented language", whose role is akin to that of Emacs Lisp in normal Emacsen.
