I am posting this for a friend who does not have access to the net.
The Epsilon editor is used extensively here at CMU, and is the
standard IBM-PC editor supported by our Computation Center.

This is to announce that Epsilon version 2.0 is now available from
Lugaru Software Ltd. For those not familiar with Epsilon, it is
a high performance EMACS-like text editor for the IBM-PC/XT/AT running
DOS 2.0 or higher.
Epsilon has multiple window editing, keyboard macros, command and
file name completion, very fast redisplay, complete online help
with apropos, and a lot of other useful things.
The new version (2.0) has many additional features, including a kill
ring, a dired command, faster searching, some more indenting commands,
access to Epsilon's command and filename completion mechanism from
within user-defined macros, and a push command that lets you execute
programs, then return to Epsilon when they exit.
Perhaps the most useful addition to 2.0, though, is Epsilon's unique
concurrent process commands. You can run you compiler, linker, assembler,
etc. inside an Epsilon window, and continue to edit your files while
the program continues to run. This is very handy for quick compile-edit
cycles.
Epsilon's price is $195, and can be ordered from Lugaru Software:

tried not to use undue puffery.
