Edwin 1.5c (EDWIN15C.ZIP) is another Wordstar / Borland IDE
style editor which supports macros and multiple windows. According to
the documentation, it's public domain, although there's a request for
$10 to cover costs if you aks the author for support and / or the
latest version.
Qedit seems to be smaller / faster / more powerful, and it has
a gee-whiz user interface with popup / pulldown menus and such, but
its registration fee is $45+.
btw Edwin 1.5c is quite old. Does anyone know whether the author
is still at Turbo Power Software. I'm inclined to send him $10 as a
token of appreciation for his efforts.

Because I use EMACS on all my UNIX machines, I chose JOVE as my public-domain (actually Freeware) text editor. I hacked it to support my VGA's strange modes (like 132 columns x 50 lines) by loking in low RAM for the number of rows and columns on the screen. It doesn't support a mouse, except through the arrow-key emulators sold with some mice, and doesn't use pop-down or any other kind of menus, but is a good implementation of EMACS, so it gives me one less editor to learn when moving from machine to machine.

Not to start an "editor war", but one of the features which sold
me on EDWIN is the ability to handle large files (limited by available
memory). The version of VDE I tried was limited to 64K chunks.
Qedit seems very good, but I can't justify spending the $50 for it
right now.

Well i will have to put in a word for jove. It does windows and runs on most other os's so i only have to learn one (1) editor. Would you believe i run it on my pcjr (well i have 640k). So if you got the ram then i vote for jove.

It is a subset of the real vi, and can be downloaded from many BBS's.
