Here are the GNU Emacs ports to PCs that I know of (as of July 23, 1995).
If you learn of other ports or have additional information about these,
please send mail to mer...@theory.lcs.mit.edu. This file is
theory.lcs.mit.edu:/pub/emacs/pc-emacs.

DOS: GNU Emacs, DEmacs, OEmacs, OS/2 GNU Emacs
Linux: GNU Emacs
NeXTstep: Emacs.app
OS/2: GNU Emacs
Windows 3.1: GNU Emacs, OEmacs, Win-Emacs
Windows 95: GNU Emacs
Windows NT: GNU Emacs, Win-Emacs, Gallo NTEmacs, Congruent ntemacs

Other versions of Emacs (Epsilon, Freemacs, JED, Jove, Microemacs,
NotGNU, etc.) may run on a PC, but they lack some features of GNU Emacs,
including the Emacs Lisp extension language (though they may have an
incompatible extension language). For more information about these
Emacses, see rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/comp.emacs/.

The standard distribution of GNU Emacs is available from
prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/ and works on the following platforms:
* MS-DOS: mouse-aware; also runs under Windows in a DOS box. You need the
djgpp compiler to build Emacs; get it at oak.oakland.edu:/pub/msdos/djgpp.
You may need other utilities such as tar, chmod, make, mv, sed, rm.
Randy Zack's <ra...@acucobol.com> MS-DOS binaries for Emacs 19.29 are
ftp.coast.net:/vendors/gnu/gnuish/emx1929[bls].zip (three files:
binaries, Lisp, C source); this version requries 386 or better processor
and omits some features (eg mail, gnus, ange-ftp) to save space.
* Windows 95, Windows NT (under Intel x86, MIPS R4000, DEC Alpha AXP, and
PowerPC architectures): doesn't use native NT windowing but supports
processes, the mouse, and most other features of Emacs. Some Windows NT
systems need a bugfix in unexnt.c (ask voe...@cs.washington.edu).
ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/ntemacs/19.29 has binaries for i386,
mips, and win95.
* Linux, a Unix clone for PCs: supports X11. Use "./configure
i386-MACHINENAME-linux ..." and then run "make". The Linux distribution
(see sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Distribution-HOWTO for sites)
includes a precompiled binary of GNU Emacs.

Derivative versions of Emacs :

* DEmacs is obsolete, based on an old version of GNU Emacs (18.55/18.57)
and lacking some important features; use GNU Emacs, OEmacs, or NTEmacs. Get
DEmacs from a SIMTEL20 mirror site, such as oak.oakland.edu:/pub/msdos/demacs/.

* OEmacs 4.1 is a port of GNU Emacs 19.19 that was written by Darryl Okahata
<dar...@sr.hp.com> as a successor to DEmacs. It runs in text mode under
MS-DOS, in a DOS box under Windows 3.1, and as a native X11 application
under DESQview/X. OEmacs supports color, the mouse, and many other
features. It complies with the GPL. Get it from a site that mirrors
SIMTEL20's MS-DOS collection, such as oak.oakland.edu:/pub/msdos/oemacs/.

* Win-Emacs 1.35 is a port by Pearl Software <in...@pearlsoft.com> of Lucid
Emacs 19.6 which runs as a Windows application under Windows 3.1. It
supports Windows features such as DDE, winsock, and drag-and-drop. It is
available as nagware from ftp.netcom.com:/pub/pe/pearl/; a license is $200.
Under Windows NT, subprocesses are not supported, and other problems may
arise; a NT version is expected by late July.

* A windowed version of Geoff Voelker's port of GNU Emacs 19.28 to Windows
NT by Kevin Gallo <kga...@microsoft.com> is available (in source and x86
binary form) from theory.lcs.mit.edu:/pub/emacs/ntemacs/. (If that's too
slow, try ftp.research.microsoft.com:/users/mernst/emacs/.) This port does
not yet support scroll bars. These changes will soon be folded into
the standard FSF distribution.

* Conguent Corporation's Windows NT port of Emacs 19.16, "ntemacs.exe",
can be found in microlib.cc.utexas.edu:/microlib/nt/gnu/gnubin.tar.Z.
Congruent is supposedly working on a new version. Congruent sells support
for $199 and can be reached at (212) 431-5100.

* GNU Emacs 19.29 has been ported to OS/2 2.0 and 2.1, with full PM support
except for scrollbars, and some WPS integration (like drag and drop). The
home site is ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/systems/os2/emacs-19; Americans should
use hobbes.nmsu.edu:/os2/unix/emacs29 or the mirror at ftp-os2.cdrom.com:/pub.
This can be run under DOS, though it's not trivial to do so.

* Emacs.app, a full port of GNU Emacs to NeXTstep also supporting NS features,
runs on Intel, NeXT, and HP hardware. Emacs.app 4.0 (Emacs 19.22) from
ftp.cs.orst.edu:/pub/next/sources/editors/Emacs_for_NeXTstep_4.0.src.tar.gz,
or Emacs.app 4.05 (in beta test; Emacs 19.28; may be shipped with future
versions of NeXTstep) from lynx.ps.uci.edu:/pub/NeXT/emacs-19-for-NeXTstep/.
(Emacs.app 3.x used the kitchen sink icon and ran Emacs in terminal mode.)
