I have a copy of a C implementation of the software tools 'ed' editor
that I would like to expand. The author is listed as one Brian Beattie,
but no other information is to be found in the code. If you are, or
if you know, the Brian Beattie involved would you send me mail. Thanks.

Here's the start of 'ed.c'. This code is obviously based on the code in
Kernighan and Plauger's "Software Tools" or "Software Tools in Pascal".
