I think there is a version, somewhere.

In my experience, I find that I don't need it. Cygnus Ed is magic!

There is, indeed, a version of sed for AmigaDOS. It's called "GNU Sed". The
Unix version compiles right-off under AmigaDOS and Lattice 5.xx (xx>=04). I
uploaded an already-compiled version to BIX a long ago, but if you have a
Unix source archive near you and no BIX access, it's no big deal to compile
it yourself.
