I am seeking a PD/shareware/low cost editor.
Note: I am not looking for a word processor
(Real Men use Wordstar in help level 0 |-})
but an editor that has the kind of features
that REDIT and TEDIT had on the IBM 370-3033 under TSS.
(no-that is *NOT* eXtra-ugly-EDIT that VM/CMS
and perhaps other brain damaged OS's use)
Desired features include powerful find and
replace (Find "?butter*" replace "?cheese*") where
? and * are wildcards, 'zones' (ie work only on 
specific columns) and other goodies.
If this dream program shared command structure
with Wordstar, so much the better.
Suggestions, please.
BTW, if anybody in the world still has 370-TSS,
I'd love to hear from you-procdef power!
(this ought to start a whole round of 'my editor
can beat up on yours......')
