According to the Jargon File, emacs was written by none other 
than Richard Stallman, of FSF fame.  It was written for the PDP 
ITS operating system while Stallman was at the MIT AI lab.

Yes, it is available from hobbes (of course).  The latest 
OS/2 version is 20.3.1.2 and was posted on hobbes in June 1999. 
There may also be a xemacs version for OS/2 if anybody is really 
interested.
