Does anyone have or know > of any other screen editor that can handle large files and runs on MINIX or > could be made to? I have tried porting Micro Emacs version 3.6 and MicroGnuEmacs. On both I recieved a "Out of memory" message (or something to that effect) from asld. I assumed it was running out of output memory (the 64K code space limitation) and gave up. Both of these Emacs require that the entire file be loaded into memory at one time, so it wouldn't help for big files. Jove looks like it would be worth a try...
