There is MicroEMACS, which is really easy to port around (I have it

I used MicroEMACS when I did a lot of DOS development in the 1980s. I
also ran it for awhile (until I got GNU Emacs built) on a 3B1.
Then I ran across an amazingly nice emacs implementation called
"Freemacs". It's DOS-only, written in assembler, but like GNU Emacs, it
is just an editor core plus primitives, with higher-level functions
written in an interpreted language. Freemacs' language is called
"Mint", and it's sorta Lisp-like, but not really Lisp. (one could say
that GNU Emacs' elisp isn't really Lisp either, but..)
If you do anything DOS-related at all, and are an emacs person, I
recommend Freemacs wholeheartedly. It really is very, very nice.
