I have ported version E17 of the RAND editor (grabbed of the net, circa
1986) to Sequent and SCO Unix boxes, and use it all the time.  I tried a
port to MessyDos but gave up for lack of facilities.

Currently, I am upgrading PH1.5 -> Minix-386 (thanks Bruce!) on the Minix
front, and when thats completed, I shall certainly port Rand to it.

What version of the source have you ported, Walter ?
