I missed the base posting, but if the reproduced part catches the essence
of it, Stevie will do fine.  It was posted a few weeks ago to
comp.sources.misc, with a bug-fix (and the missing file ascii.h)
posted to comp.sources.d.

I am currently typing this in on Stevie from a UNIX machine.  I use
the same editor on MSDOS, and the posting also includes Make information
for OS/2, MINIX, and the Atari ST.  Someone is also working on a
VMS port.

If there's something in the original posting that renders Stevie
inadequate for the task, well....  "Never mind"
