My favorite editor is ZDE 1.3.  I like it because it interfaces
well with ZCPR3.x.  But it will (or at least should) work fine
under vanilla CP/M.  I also like it because it's a quick editor
because everything is RAM-resident, but that will limit the length
of your edit file to something like 40K, but there are special chop
utilities that will allow you to break a large file down into
smaller chunks.  But I also find it easy to use.  As for programs
that edit larger files, I haven't had any luck yet finding a file
that will fit that bill nicely.  But VDE and ZDE are good starters
until you can find a more suitable editor.  Have fun, and happy
hunting!
