I have heard rumors of one "fredmacs" which is a more-or-less emacs that
will run on PDP-11 v7 Unix. Since I've gotten "s" onto v7 and behaving
mostly happily, now I'd like an editor I actually _like_ rather than
_tolerate_.
Does anyone know where to find the fredmacs sources?

No idea about "fredmacs". If I wanted to try my luck, I would try
MicroEmacs, mg, maybe something else... Other than trying to use some
MicroEmacs on Amiga, I have no idea. My first succesful encounter with
Emacs world happened with 32bits cpu and .GE. 4mb of ram, probably
8mb.

I don't know if this is what you heard about, but Fred Fish wrote an
Emacs that ran on top of TECO-11.

Interesting. It of course matches the origin of Emacs, which started out as "Editing
Macros", a set of TECO macros (on TECO-10 I believe).
