No, sorry, wrong, for at least a couple of reasons reasons:
1) XEmacs, being constrained to be under the same license (GPL) as
its progenitor, GNU Emacs, could never have been closed-source.
2) Lucid Emacs, the version of Emacs that becamse XEmacs, was not
started until ca. 1992
I refer you to http://www.jwz.org/doc/emacs-timeline.html for
documentation---JWZ was Mr. Lucid Emacs for quite a time.
In 1987, there are any number of things that it could have been---I'd
guess either Unipress Emacs or perhaps Gosling Emacs.
Mike.
