Using CMS/Xedit daily on a mainframe IBM I am astonished that the
qualities of the Xedit editor have not been recognized yet in the
Atari world. Bruce Blanar should be highly praised if he would port
it to the ST.
Or can anybody tell me another editor that is as powerful and yet as
easy to use? Isn't the commandline orientation a very useful alternative
to other editors?
Does any other editor support such useful commands as
   SHIFT, ZONE, MERGE, OVERLAY etc.?
