Micro Emacs version 3.9e is available from drycas.  All that is there
is the executable and all the files you need to run it.  I did a 3.10
port about 6 months ago, but there were a couple of bugs that I
couldn't find/fix so I never did release it.  The big advantage of
3.10 is that file reads/writes seem much faster.  You can run
microemacs under code blue and use the IBM version.  I haven't done
this personally, but I understand that it works well.

There is no port of freemacs to the Rainbow that I'm aware of.  It
wouldn't be that hard, just no one that I'm aware of has sat down and
done it.

P.S.  Does anybody know what it means when you turn on your Rainbow
and NOTHING happens?  No screen, no fan, no disks spin up?  No, it
isn't upplugged... :-)
