 Well, I'd suggest F-PC over F83.  F-PC's roots afterall are F83.  The 
 editor will convert your block source to files if you want.  You can 
 have blocks on files and it would take an evening or two to put 
 together a block editor if you really wanted to.  The software floating 
 point, from Kent Brothers (VP-Planner) has been provided through Jack 
 Brown to run on F-PC.  It's got lots of tools. 

 Now if you're quite serious about blocks and/or simplicity you could 
 look at PYGMY and that would only take a few hours to get acquainted 
 with. 

 So, how many have you got on your list now?
