Linux beta of Lugaru's Epsilon

If you came to Linux from the DOS/Win 3.1 era like I did, then you may have heard of Lugaru's Epsilon, a legendary Emacs-like editor that's been available on DOS since the 2.0-hey-we-just-got-subdirectory days.

It's a decent Emacs-clone, and the keybindings are very similar. Why would you pay Lugaru $250 for a license to run Epsilon (the beta is free for evaluation) when you could just run Emacs or XEmacs for free? I have no idea.
