RT-11 PD editors?

I need information on text editors that will run on an LS-11 (64kb memory)
running RT-11 version 4.0  Currently the people  who use the system have
'edit' (line editor) and TECO. Most of the terminals are non-DEC, but
they have a couple of VT52's so they can use the VT52 macros in TECO and
get some full screen capability.  TECO seems to run rather slowly.

They need to edit text (source code) files in a more efficient manner.

I know this is a primitive installation by today's standards, but they have
a huge investment in a non-portable application, so they are stuck.

Is there EMACS for RT-11? Public Domain? Would it work with non-dec terminals
(Beehive 1XX)?

Has anyone written a 'vi' like editor (ala PC-vi)?

Should they gut it out with TECO?   What about other RT-11 editors?  

If they had a vt100 or emulator would it help?


Thanks for your help..
