Not Public Domain, but Shareware: WED, which is available from
SIMTEL20's directory pd:<msdos.editor>. I don't remember the
registration cost, but the program itself seems to be quite
professional.

BTW, I tried to handle two files - WED's own document and SIMTEL20's
index at different windows at the same time - it didn't work: my
machine hang!
