I know of a version of MicroEMACS that runs on the mac, but it hasn't been
integrated into the official distribution (at least, not as of 3.10).  If
you want the best available Emacs clone for the Mac, get JOVE.  I find it
has most of the essential functionality of mainframe Emacs, but it does
lack a macro extension language.  On the other hand, it is better integrated
into Mac environment than is MicroEMACS as things stand now.  One might
think of JOVE as a mainframe Emacs configured to suit someone's personal
tastes, hence its name:  Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs.  If you can't find
a source, I will be glad to point you to one.  (It's on SIMTEL20.)
