Freemacs is an EmacsFamily relative. (It is also a TinyEditors member. The EXE is a whopping 20K!)

It has a MacroLanguage called MINT (Mint Is Not Trac) -- TRAC is a text replacement language (think pass by name).

It strives to be compatible with GnuEmacs from the keystroke perspective.

It is bundled with the http://www.freedos.org project which provides a free MSDOS clone.

As an aside, if they bundled something closer to X2 or cse and a copy of [[Regina]], it would be really close to IBM's PCDOS 7.
