   I am switching operating systems from DOS to OS/2 on my 80386 so I need
   a new editor.  I used UNIPRESS emacs under DOS but was never satisfied
   with it because of limitations with file size due to lack of memory.

   I would like to get an editor that can edit a file of any size, helps with
   C code, will let me view my directory, launch compilers, edit multiple files
   in multiple windows, cut and paste between windows etc.  I've heard some 
   good things about Brief, and Epsilon.  What do you think.  Are they similar
   to EMACS or is there an EMACS that is improved over the UNIPRESS version that
   would fill my needs.  What about SPF/PC?  Any advice will be greatly 
   appreciated.  

I have Epsilon (just got it recently), and I think it is great.  It is
very fast (though I am using on a DOS machine, not OS/2).  It is
almost identical to Gnu Emacs, though it does not have quite the same
key bindings in all ways... i.e. there's no ^X-4-b of ^X-4-f (which
irritates the hell out of me), but I'm going to program them in,
which, I understand is quite easy... haven't tried it.  It comes with
an extension language called Epsilon Extension Language which is like
C... 

I highly recommend this editor if you like emacs, and if you can find
a good place to get it..  I got my DOS version for only 109 from the
Programmer's Shop in Massachussetts... they have an 800 number...
