4.0, for 3.3 m68k.

Known issues:
* Locked to 80x24; won't resize with your Terminal.  This might be by design.
* Using the return key in searches inserts <NL>.  Can't find any chord that serves as actual 'enter'.

TODO:
Post a build transcript, so this can be rebuilt for alternate versions and additional platforms.

Fun Facts(?):
Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, has been a user of MicroEMACS since his days as a student at the University of Helsinki.[1]

Folks, I don't know the issues involved when it comes to running something built in 3.3 in 4.2.  So if anybody tries it please post your mileage.

Also, I don't know how to build a quadfat target, if anybody can HOWTO that I will owe you a beer[1].


[1] maybe if I set up something Project Builder likes I could use it to make quadfat?

Hmmm, I've only built a NextStep apps using ProjectBuilder, which, if I recall correctly, allows you to build for all targets. Perhaps give that a go....
