In the mid-1980s there was a commercial Emacs workalike (on floppy disks) for the IBM PC, called The Final Word, later acquired by Borland and renamed Sprint. For printing, it featured a workalike of Scribe, an early text markup language and precursor to HTML by Brian Reid. In law school I'd used a TOPS-20 Emacs and Scribe for law-review work, so later I bought The Final Word and an early HP LaserJet printer to produce camera-ready copy for my first book. Good times (sort of). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprint_(word_processor) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprint_(word_processor)
