My favorite is DTE, by Douglas Thomson (doug@giaea.oz).  Although I obtained
my copy by another means, I believe the complete source and binaries are on
SIMTEL20 in PD1:<MSDOS.EDITOR> as DTE5-1.ZIP.

Beside Doug's generous gift of his source to the public domain, there
are two things I like about DTE: 1) it is WordStar-like and 2) it is
portable to MS-DOS and (at least) HP unix systems.  I was able to
compile it OK with hpux 7.0 and Turbo C++ 1.01 (but unfortunately not
BC++ 2.0).  Someday I'll find out why.
