   I can't seem to find any information on JED or where an archive site is
   for it.  I have tried archie and the comp.editors FAQ doesn't mention
   it, can anyone please help me?  If you haven't heard of it, it's the
   editor that is now used for Linux.  They apparently replaced JOE with
   JED????

   What I'm really looking for is a GOOD small version of emacs for unix. 
   I have tried Microemacs 3.11 but it seems to have a few funny quirks
   under unix, although it's not bad.


JED is an Emacs inspired extensible editor which runs under VMS, UNIX, and
MSDOS.  The latest version is 0.70 though 0.80 will be out soon.  It has an
EDT mode which I have been told is excellent.  Version 0.70 is available from
amy.tch.harvard.edu in the pub/jed directory.  SunOS, Ultrix, and VMS
executables are in the directory as well.  A binary for MSDOS is included in
the jed070.zip.  If you pick up the executables, you will still need to get
one of the standard distributions.
  
If you want a good small version of emacs for unix, then take a look at JED.
I wrote it because of this reason and of the quirks of MicroEmacs, e.g.,
unable to rebind the ^U key.
