Was 'Elvis' David Pilling's port? That's the only one I know of... Just
looking at it, there are no licenses / names anywhere in it, just 4
documentation files, and the absolute code so I presume it is not his.
It doesn't run in a window - strictly monotasking, and isn't a utility,
so won't return you to BASIC after you finish using it if you want a
quick editor from BASIC, which would be very nice... Also, there are
no sources, so no easy way of getting it onto the desktop. I don't
even no where it came from - might have been a UK BBS?
