Freemacs is a small, programmable computer text editor for MS-DOS with some degree of compatibility with GNU Emacs.^[1] Written by Russ Nelson and later maintained by Jim Hall,^[2] Freemacs is currently distributed under the GPL-1.0-only license in the FreeDOS project.^[2]

Freemacs' executable binary, in the current 1.6 version, is only ~21k in size. Most features are implemented in MINT (Mint Is Not Trac),^[1] whose role is akin to that of Emacs Lisp as used by other implementations of Emacs.

The most recent version of Freemacs is 1.6H, released in 2008.^[3] Version 1.6G was released in 1999.^[4]
