Is there a version of Gnu Emacs that runs on IBM PC and compatibles?
I got used to the power of Gnu Emacs (on Suns and Vaxes) and the
EPSILON editor on the PC, though good, is no match. I know that because
of DOS limitations one can only expect  a subset of the REAL thing.

Note: I have tried FREEMACS, but it is a limited subset of Gnu Emacs.
Also, many of the commands don't behave in the same way as Gnu Emacs;
for example list-buffers (which uses buffer numbers instead of
buffer names) and file name completion.
