You might want to check out Jstevie 1.3, which is a derivative of Stevie
version 3.69.  It has extensions too numerous to mention here, and supports
OS/2 as well.

It is available for FTP from utsun.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp (133.11.11.11) in the
directory fj/jstevie1.3.  

By the way, if you want to edit Japanese, then Jstevie supports it too.
(You need a front-end processor (FEP) and fonts for your machine, though).
