Not bloody likely on only ONE disk, just the elisp directory is over 3MB,
the on-line help (info) directory in > 1MB, and I would be surprised if the
executable could be shrunk much below 500KB. GNU Emacs is a memory hog when
its running! You may be thinking about mg[1a|1b|2a|2b], which DO fit on
one disk, but is most emphatically NOT GNU Emacs! Its piggishness is the
main reason I stopped working on the port, as much as I would like to have
it at home, also. If someone has done the port, though, I am very interested!
Could you tell me more info?
