 GNOME (Generally Not the Original Micro Emacs) editor

 Author:    Moshe Braner, based on original code by Dave Conroy
 Download:  http://sites.google.com/site/texteditors/Home/files/gnomesrc.ZIP  (C source, docs, and MS-DOS executable)
 Family:    EmacsFamily
 License:   Unknown
 Availability: yes
 Platform:  VMS, Atari, MSDOS, Unix, CPM

Described in the Emacs Implementations pages of Craig Finseth as "another old spin off Micro Emacs 2.x, small and fast." The links are dead, but an Internet Archive page exists with the DOS executable. The executable is 55k, still runs on Windows XP, and has a built-in help menu.

(Converted to a Zip archive and hosted on TextEditors site --DMcCunney))

Moshe Braner here. I still use this editor daily in 2018. Executable (74K) compiled in 1998 for 32-bit Windows (with a slightly-buggy compiler) is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_homnjxg_R44OM7EZkDYaKGK-j2m7az9 - I use it in Windows 7, and it can edit large files and handle long-ish file names. Limited mouse support. Keyboard macros, including save/load, and looping until string not found. Parentheses matching. Column-mode cut and paste. Sort lines by range of columns. Customizable key-mapping. Can read several types of end-of-line characters and rewrite using system default. Source code for 1997 version here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xtuJpERRN-PdWyIWCpRcQytzwnZEJjdI
