I'm using DOS 3.1 with an HP Vectra (AT compatible), and
currently use PC-Write, V2.7 -- which will not edit files 
larger than 60K.  Working with large files of star and
galaxy data is getting to be a bit of a nuisance.  So, I 
am looking for an editor that is a) inexpensive (<~$50),
b) has configurable commands so that I don't have to learn
yet another editor, and c) accepts files up to RAM limits.
The only editor that I know that meets specs (b) and (c)
above is Brief.  But it fails on (a) (list is $200, with
only small discounts available).  Maybe there is a share-
ware editor that might work?  Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
