From Emacs, do
`C-h f read'
`C-h f eval'
and follow the sources. I don't think it's profitable to look at early
versions of Emacs; that's a wild goose chase. The fact that the sources
are bigger now than in earlier versions is irrelevant, if you're only
going to be looking at the Lisp reader and interpreter.
