Thomas Lord <lord@emf.net> raises a memory "CGI Emacs" about 1983 or
so.
I think you mean CCA Emacs (Computer Corporation of America, perhaps?).
It was the first Emacs available on VAX VMS, and was a commercial
product. We had it here at Utah for a couple of years, I think, until
GNU Emacs became available (but memory is hazy after 20+ years).
There are lists of historical emacs programs at
http://www.finseth.com/emacs.html
The author of that site wrote the 1991 book "The Craft of Text Editing
--- Emacs for the Modern World". That book, and many others, are
recorded at
