I agree - programs like this are totally unusable.  They may be easy to
patch, to allow proper 8-bit operation, but who cares...  Anybody who writes
a 7-bit PC program is clearly not a competent programmer - so why bother
wasting time on their programs.

As it is, the program is just a waste of disk space....

Just think about it - an editor which does not allow the entry of 30% of
the letters in your alphabet ?

or should I say:  n edito wic does not llow te enty of 30% of te lettes in
you lpbet ?
