I have MicroEmacs. No Lisp. Whoopie. I don't often need to run eliza in my editor. >jessicar 1776% ll /usr/local/bin/emacs >-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 1860685 Jan 22 12:46 emacs The point that I was trying to make [which absolutely nobody seems to have comprehended], is that you can't speak of the size of "emacs" because there is no standard/reference "emacs". All too many people seem to think that "emacs" means "gnu emacs", which (regardless of your preferences) is wrong. "emacs" can be applied to a wide spectrum of editors, including MicroEmacs, Epsilon, Jove, Unipress Emacs, GnuEmacs, PDP-10 Emacs, etc. If you insist on considering any one implementation the "real" one, then it would have to be the ITS one. 1.8 meg unstripped -g'd gnu binaries certainly are not a "reference" implementation.
