Do you need the emacs sources?  There is a version of emacs,
microemacs (usually written uemacs) for the IBM PC.  The most recent
version I have seen is uemacs 3.10.  It was posted in
comp.binaries.ibm.pc, and is available at any comp.binaries.ibm.pc
archive.  (Volume 2, articles 73-83.)  Typically, you will just find a
binary, but I have seen sources at some locations.

Comp.binaries.ibm.pc archives that I know of include:

  wuarchive.wustl.edu [128.252.135.4]  (These have it -- an excellent archive)
  They will be in the subdirectory usenet/comp.binaries.ibm.pc/volume2/uemacs.

  trwind.trw.com [129.4.16.70]         (These may be gone?)

For those in Europe, try:  (Do not access these from states -- it is
                            an expensive connection.)

  hydra.helsinki.fi [128.214.4.29]
  tau.sm.luth.se [130.240.0.3]
