Freemacs is a small, programmable computer text editor for MS-DOS with some degree of compatibility with Emacs for DOS[1], written by Russ Nelson and later maintained by Jim Hall. Freemacs is included in the FreeDOS project. It is currently maintained by Jim Hall[2].

Freemac's executable binary in the current 1.6 version is only ~21k in size. Most features are implemented in MINT (Mint Is Not Trac)[1], whose role is akin to that of Emacs Lisp as used by other implementations of Emacs.
