We have a project going to put together a shrink-wrapped bundle of
public domain software for doing mail on a PC to a UNIX server.  We
have uupc 1.09d with source and it works quite well.  What is lacking
is a default simple editor.  Just bare bones, but full screen, and with
a help message always there.  Only a few commands.  Would prefer
source.  We need the freedom to distribute it without charge or
royalties.  It has to be able to be called by the line:  cmd filename,
and should be strictly ASCII, no formatting needed.

I haven't read this group for a couple of years, and I suppose this has
been beat around several times in my absence, but I am not aware of
what is out there now.

Thanks for pointers.  We can ftp.
