Another editor you could try if you're realy in a JAM is the BORLAND C IDE
compiler editor (NOT TURBO C). It readly blew my socks off when I found
a PC editor that could actually do paged editing (but to find it in a compiler
is realy impressive !).

The other you might try is DEMACS (With a LARGE amount of free disk to act as

Another is to find someone with a VAX, and do it with EDT, TECO, TPU, or any
other paging editor.
