Subject: Text Editors: Commodore 128, CP/M 3.0

First off, thanks to everyone who helped me with my decompression problem. I
ended up using the program "ucrlzh" from simtel20.

Now for my question: what is the best pd/free/shareware text editor for
CP/M? Primary concerns include small size, speed, and a basic feature set
including cut/paste, rapid movement through the file (by screen/page, or
ideally with some sort of search capability). Ability to do margins,
centering, justification, boldface, etc. is not necessary.  Ideally
(although this is secondary to all the other items) it should have
Emacs-style key bindings. (Has anyone ported MicroEmacs to CP/M?)

This is a sensitive subject, so why don't you send me e-mail rather than
posting; I don't want this group to degenerate into a flame war... I will
summarize my responses after I have had a chance to try out some of the
suggested editors.
