I'm looking for a good editor for programming under MS-DOS and have yet
to find one.  Ideally, I'd like to run vi or emacs, but I haven't the time
to port those editors over.  We do have a UNIX source license, so if anyone
out there HAS a vi for MS-DOS, we would be very interested.  Otherwise,
here are some of our criterea for the ideal editor:

	- never requires the use of function keys, including
		the arrow keys (or allows control keys
		to be defined to do the work of all function keys)

	- doesn't turn tabs into spaces or vice-versa

	- has global search and replace

Please reply to davidra@lasspvax; it gets to me there faster than at this
address or a followup article.
