There is definitely a public domain version of an EDT emulator. This
was a result of an early posting of MicroEMACS to BIX. I think it was
Brad Fuller who did the conversion to EDT (I'm not sure now, but I can
check). It was first posted to BIX some time ago. We have a newer version
on BIX now with some enhancements. I don't know whether either of these
programs is the one everybody is talking about 'here', but if so, then it's
properly postable to a BBS. If it's the commercial EDT emulator, then
obviously it shouldn't be posted. I'll try and remember to get some ID
stats to post to the Net, but it doesn't seem urgent.
