	Huge resources for Emacs, it's large.
	It is modeless, the Ctrl and Alt keys
	do the work and unlike 'vi' the visual
	'ex' editor, you don't switch to the
	command line.

	Macros are created all the time and you
	can map anything to any key.

	There are various copies for DOS, Windows, OS/2
	etc. in various subsets or full sets, the
	latter taking up many megabytes.
	There are vaious subsets such as xnotemacs
	and JED

	Search in a few sites below, for example	
	for DOS or Windows

	for OS/2
