I had no trouble porting xedit to dvx.  aXe had too much unix junk for me
to handle.  (I have zero experience in unix programming.)  It seems like
it took me about an hour to port xedit.  I have since trashed it.  I just
use the msdos editor that comes with 5.0 in multiple DOS windows for
programming.  (Who needs more than cut and paste, search and replace
anyway? ;->)
