I have a System V release 3 compatible version of the "dte" editor: it's
a Wordstar-command compatible windowing editor, in the public domain.

(The name stands for Doug's Text Editor, after the author Doug Thomson
 in Australia (doug@munnari.oz.au))

(perhaps Commodore would be interested in including it in A3000UX at
some point?)

In any case, I'd be happy to send anyone a copy, or post to alt.sources
if there are enough requests. It needs some work handling tabs and control
characters (right now they show up as inverse-video uppercase letters),
and long lines seem to vanish off the screen... but it's a pretty handy
editor for novices anyway...
