There was a recent request for information about Rogue River's
SPF/PC editor in info.ibm-pc.  The people to contact are
Command Technology Corp. on 415-339-3530.  Ask for Barry
Patton.  Current release is Version 1.82.  I've been using
this on an AT since October '84 and have been tickled to
death with it.  It allows two files open simultaniously, data
transport between them, DOS fuction execution from editor, user
defined functions, i.e. execution of programs, including
batch files whil in editor, etc. etc.  It's extremely fast -
search for string in file >100K takes less than 10 sec.  Will handle any
size files your machine has capability for.  Uses extended memory
when exists, does paging and memory swapping automatically, allows
keyboard speedup in AT (at user defined rates), supports color (all
attributes fully setable by user from embedded menu).  

I realize that editors are often almost a religious item amongst users/programmers, but I've rarely seen one with as complete an implementation which
is so user friendly.  Oh yeah, Ver. 1.82 also includes
a fully featured communications package.  Only problem with SPF/PC is that
editor uses about 140K without communicatons package (which is abt. 40K).
