You don't state the particulars of your needs, but I would like to
suggest Brief.  I have used in in program development and repairing
damaged files.  In the case of the latter, Brief is particularly
effective as it will also edit lines of 512 characters.  It has macros
and is customizable for various languages also.  As I recall it is not
terribly expensive.  OS/2 and DOS version also.
