EINE is a text editor for the MIT LISP machines. It means EINE is not EMACS, as announced by Daniel Weinreb on August 8th 1977.
EINE adopted the EMACS user interface going back to early 1977 when it was just called the Lisp machine editor. Its entry point (ED) can be found as early as 1975, but at that point the user interface had not been implemented.
Weinreb reimplemented the text editor as ZWEI with help from Mike McMahon. Future iterations were renamed Zmacs.
