Can anyone recommend a small but useful editor ? 
I've been using Turbo Pascal as an editor, but I feel it's overkill
for short programs/files (note: I don't want line editors, eg ED,
just screen editors. Multiple files would be a bonus :)

I've seen UZI mentioned a lot in this group, but I've never
seen anything that really indicates what it is.
So, what is it ? 
What sort of CP/M machine does it require ? Hard disk, 1 or 2 floppies ?
56/128 k RAM ?

Also, can anyone answer the same questions for ZCPR3.3 ...I know
it's a replacement for the CCP, but I looked in the
ZCPR3.3 directory on wuarchivel.wustl.edu - there are a _lot_
of files there ... what are they all ? are they all needed ?
Will they run on any CP/M machine, do they depend
on being patched for each particular machine ??

<whew> Well, that's all (for now)
It might be best to e-mail replies to dcook@spam.adelaide.edu.au,
and if anyone else is as ignorant about CP/M as me ( :-), I'll summarize.

(the amazing thing is, I've been in an information vacuum w.r.t. CP/M
for 6 years now ! Especially in hearing about latest developments)
