VEDIT.

It is worth noting that I use a vintage 1979 version of VEDIT (yes, it's
ten years old) and I still haven't found anything that comes close. Now
that I have my hard disk I'm going to have to do some grunt work to
patch it for scanning user areas, and I have one other beef with it that
I can probably fix when I'm inside it.

If this doesn't work, I'll probably shell out for the latest copy, because
I don't think anything else will ever provide the features that VEDIT does.
It's a bit like QTERM - only 10K, but more stuff in it than in some editors
that are twice the size (can you say TECO command set - I knew you could).

OK - I'm going to put on my +6 ring of fire resistance ..... :-)
