The following comes from my copy of the Consulair 68000 development system:
    Consulair Corp.
    PO Box 2192
    Ketchum
    ID 83340
    (208) 726-5846
fax (208) 726-1401

I think these guys are missing out on significant extra sales by not
unbundling Edit from their development system. If it was really cheap
(the whole development system is around $90), many people wanting a simple
editor with tabs, multiple windows and no limit on file length would use
it (the current version is 6.0 - I haven't used it a lot, so I don't know
if it's a any better than 2.1).
