Yes, it was.  It was about 75% of something like micro-Emacs, i.e.,
the main stuff, horizontally split windows, and so on, but no meta-X,
lisp, or command completeion features.  Just what would be useful and
fit in a CP/M environment.  As I understand it, perfect writer was a sort
of bare-bones implementation of scribe.
