     There is definitely a public domain version of an EDT emulator.  This
was a result of an early posting of MicroEMACS to BIX.  I think it was
Brad Fuller who did the conversion to EDT (I'm not sure now, but I can
check).  It was first posted to BIX some time ago.  We have a newer version
on BIX now with some enhancements.  I don't know whether either of these
programs is the one everybody is talking about 'here', but if so, then it's
properly postable to a BBS.  If it's the commercial EDT emulator, then
obviously it shouldn't be posted.  I'll try and remember to get some ID
stats to post to the Net, but it doesn't seem urgent.
