I've been working on porting OpenBSD ed(1) to DOS.  The DJGPP port was a
breeze, but the 16-bit port has been a fun challenge and i am not finished
yet. :-)

When i developed code on DOS in the mid 90's, I used Q.EXE now known as
the Semware editor, i think.

These days i tend to use calvin in DOS.  It's a lean vi clone that may be
too minimal for most folks.  XVI is another nice one and i think it has a
nice balance between features and minimalism.  IIRC, xvi is descended
from stevie.  Someone told me elvis 1.8 on simtelnet is decent, and it is
real-mode.

I recently tried svared and i think they did a fine job making that editor.
