This doesn't qualify as a Public Domain entry, but the price is
so low, it's almost stealing.

I have used the MIX editor that you've seen advertised everywhere
for $29 with great success. 

My system: in case it's important, is a Lobo Max-80.  It is a 5 Mhz
Z80-based system w/128k RAM, 2 serial ports, built-in 5" and 8" floppy
drivers, as well as SASI H.D. interface, Real Time Clock, etc.
It runs Radio Shack MIII programs (under LDOS) and also runs CPM 2.2
and CPM PLUS (3.0).

I won't clutter up the net with a lot of specs (unless someone requests
specific information), but this Editor made it possible for me to use
CPM effectively. Previously, I was not able to do very much in the way
of programming, lacking a decent editor.

Quickie, condensed specs:  all of the commands are based on those that
Micropro's Wordstar uses. They are just about exactly the same.  If you
don't like that, you can change all the key bindings. This thing does
windows, multiple files, long files, split screens, etc.  You can set
up initialization files so that different versions are available.
It has a very nice Macro command facility.

Quite a bargain for $29 bucks!

Usual disclaimer: I have no vested interest in this company, am just
a satisfied user.
