   I own and use an IBM 486/33. I was told there is an edition of
   Emacs that will work on my machine. Can anyone advice me where to
   obtain a copy of this since Emacs is my favorite text editor.

You might be happy with Freemacs.  It's on simtel20.army.mil, in
pd1:<msdos.freemacs>.

SIMTEL20 files are also available by anonymous ftp from mirror sites
OAK.Oakland.Edu (141.210.10.117), wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4),
ftp.uu.net (137.39.1.9), nic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100), src.doc.ic.ac.uk
(146.169.3.7), nic.switch.ch (130.59.1.40), archie.au (139.130.4.6),
nctuccca.edu.tw (140.111.3.21), by e-mail through the BITNET/EARN file
servers.

Modem:

If you cannot access them via FTP or e-mail, most SIMTEL20 MSDOS
files, including the PC-Blue collection, are also available for
downloading from Detroit Download Central (313) 885-3956.  DDC
has multiple lines which support 300/1200/2400/9600/14400 bps
(103/212/V22bis/HST/V32bis/V42bis/MNP).  This is a subscription system
with an average hourly cost of 17 cents.  It is also accessable on
Telenet via PC Pursuit and on Tymnet via StarLink outdial.  New files
uploaded to SIMTEL20 are usually available on DDC within 24 hours.

CD-ROM:

Public, private or corporate institutions and libraries interested in
the SIMTEL20 MS-DOS collection in CD-ROM format bundled with library
card-catalog type access and duplication software can contact Coyote
