    I can't comment on Epsilon, but the main problem that I have noted with
   both Brief and EMACS is that they can't handle Nulls.

Note that the EMACS Graham is talking about is not Freemacs.  Freemacs
doesn't engage in gratuitious file munging (like line limits and character
set limits).  Freemacs can edit binary files.
