I have ported the RAND Screeneditor "E" to MINIX ST.
This is a real screen editor and it works with even more than 2 windows.
I use it on all my UNIX boxes (also minix :->) and have a hard time
when i am on a system without it...

There are still many bugs in it under ST-MINIX, but the worst problem is
its size (memory >> 64k - no chance on <386PC and source ~1.5MB) which
keeps me of posting it.

If there is big interest in it I 'll reconsider...
