Re:	IBM PC Editors

Excuse me if this has already been discussed to death (it probably has),
but I am looking for reasonable PROGRAMMING editors for the IBM-PC and
lookalikes (i. e., no word processors).  The supplied edlin is rather
weak as an editor.  My preferences would be for something along the
lines of the Unix "vi" or (in the DEC world) EDT or TECO.  (note that
all of these editors are rather different from each other, the point is
that each is rather powerful in its way, which the edlin editor is not).

I have heard good things about VEDIT and bad things about the IBM
Personal Editor and Professional Editor.  Are there any disagreements to
this (probably, but what are your reasons), and are there any other really
good editors out there I should investigate?

Please reply to me (as I am not usually on the net) and, ONLY if your
submission might be of interest to others, to the net.

Thank you -
