I think this is very nice. I'm already trying in under *nix.

I'd like to run the same editor nder DOS, but the only compilers
i hve available now are Power C (which almost makes it, but stops
somewhere in xvi.h) and BorlandC 2.0 which dies of assorted include
file problems.

Unfortunately there is no makefile included for these compilers
(but there is for everything else :) . I tried to hack the header
files to make it compile under  BorlandC, but no joy. I can probably
kee trying, but i wonder if someone has compiled this for DOS
already, and i could just ftp from somewhere (lazy). Or if somebody
would be so kind as to email me a DOS version. I'm interested
in generic 8086 versions, and also 386 versions. I can even use
a 286 version, if available! :)  Or, alternatively, i could use
a patch to the makefile and/or header files to compile under
PowerC or BC 2.0.

Thank you for any help. Relly a very nice program.
