As promised, here is the summary of responses to my query for help with
8-bit clean simple editors. Since I already had pico, I tried the patch
offered, and I have success. I will try out the others, so see if one
of them is more appropriate, but now the urgency is gone since I have
something which works.
Thanks again people.

Have you tried CE yet? its on crs.cl.msu.edu pub/ce1.2dist.tar.Z

ELLE (ELLE Looks Like Emacs) can edit arbitrary binary files; I'm not
positive what else you want in an ``8-bit-clean'' editor, but it should be
easy to adjust ELLE to do it. ELLE is also very small and simple.

Did you ever tryed the last version of fpted.
(You can get it using ftp at minerva.inesc.pt)

The only patch that I have made on Sun is:
*** os_unix.c.orig Fri Sep 11 20:16:37 1992
--- os_unix.c Wed Nov 25 14:47:37 1992
***************
*** 225,231 ****
kill(getpid(), SIGHUP); /* the only honorable thing to do */
}
else
! return((Pmaster) ? c & 0xff : c & 0x7f);
}
--- 225,231 ----
kill(getpid(), SIGHUP); /* the only honorable thing to do */
}
else
! return(c & 0xff);
}
The only thing I need to say to make it is 'stty pass8'.
stty is the same as 'stty -parenb -isttrip cs8{'.
This is with pico that comes with pine3.05.
