MicroEMACS is a small, portable Emacs-like text editor originally written by Dave Conroy in 1985, and further developed and maintained by Daniel Lawrence. MicroEMACS has been ported to many operating systems, including MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows, VAX/VMS, AmigaOS and various Unix-like operating systems.

Variants of MicroEMACS also exist, such as MicroGNUEmacs (later renamed mg), a more GNU Emacs-compatible editor. Many relationships to vi can also be found in MicroEMACS. The vi clone vile was based around an older version of MicroEMACS.

MicroEMACS is the text editor used by Linus Torvalds.^[1]
