That looks identical to the comment at the head of display.c from the
Gosling derivative I use. Presumably one is derived from the other...?

Yes. Files in MIT's ITS systems documents the early EMACS history well.
For example, MC:EAK;EMACS LORE.

I seem to have stumbled upon a GNU Emacs 13.8. I'll post this

Do you have any of the “GNU” emacs versions that were derived from
Unipress/Gosling emacs, prior to the clean-room rewrite of the Gosmacs code?
(Were those ever widely distributed?)

Did anyone mention MINCE--a micro version of Emacs? I recall a few
friends using it back in the day...

I found this reference, which makes your copy very interesting indeed:
CCA EMACS is Zimmermans EMACS which is an extension of Warren

Prior to that one, someone else at BBN (whose name I have forgotten, alas)
did an Emacs intended for PDP-11's running Unix. It wasn't programmable (the
way 'real' Emacs is), perhaps because there was not enough

I am! I looked in 4.2BSD, but didn't find any Emacs.
Emacs in 1983 would have been Gosling Emac

It goes back before then--I can remember using it on early BSD around
1983. I can look around, if you're really curious.

Oh, sure! For now, my most ethical repository is this:

But I'd be happy to mirror it on savannah.

Hello,
I'm looking for old versions of Emacs. I want to preserve them for the
future. By "old", I mean roughly released before 1990. Or before GNU
Emacs 19.7.
I'm interested in having the most complete set of GNU Emacs release
there can be. Tarballs are great, but diffs a
