    Hello,

    I'm collecting old versions of Emacs: http://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/emacs-history/

    Just saw this post, nice collection. If the collection also covers clones (editors with Emacs feel but without LISP and extendability) JOVE would
    also qualify. JOVE == Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs written by Jonathan Payne.
    The 1983 version of this Emacs clone is included in 2.9BSD, see
    https://www.retro11.de/ouxr/29bsd/usr/contrib/jove/
    The full glory 1986 version is included in 2.11BSD, see
    https://www.retro11.de/ouxr/211bsd/usr/src/new/jove/
    and the man page under
    https://www.retro11.de/ouxr/211bsd/usr/new/man/cat1/jove.0.html

    If clones don't qualify, just take it as a side note.

    Thank you. I do include some clones, especially early ones. JOVE
    sounds like it should be an excellent addition.

    hello:
    I am currently on holiday but have a version for LMI, Ti Explorer, Vax, and PC. The first three are on tape and I'll try to read them. The PC is on a floppy. I'll contact you in a few weeks with an update.

    My first contact was using a program called Perfect Writer in 1984; part
    of a suite including Perfect Calc (spreadsheet using EMACS key bindings)
    and Perfect Filer (a simple database). Perfect Writer was, of course,
    just an editor (loosely based on MINCE), and included a formatter/markup language based on SCRIBE. Not much was customisable.

    I still use MicroEMACS quite a bit. Never got into vi (pah!) as when I
    started with UNIX, it didn't exist. I am still pretty good with ed,
    though.

    Just as a nitpick - the original Emacs I think should definitely qualify
    as Emacs. But LISP extendability does not exist there. That only
    happened with GNU Emacs (or arguably Gosling Emacs), which is not the original.
