You can buy the 'Z' editor direct from MANIX separate from  their
'C'  compiler but why bother.  The MKS Toolkit or Custom Software
Systems vi for pc's are much better.  The cost for the  Z  editor
was  $75.00 a couple of years ago.  You should be able to the the
MKS Toolkit for around $100 (or less), which also includes a  few
of UNIX(tm) utilities for MS/PC DOS.
