I am looking for PD source for an editor to run on MS-DOS machines and
others.  I don't want the whole functionality of Emacs and the .EXE
file should be small.  Some years ago, I had PerfectWriter on my Kaypro
which is about what I want now, but I want to be able to distribute 
it to students, along with other PD and homebrewed stuff.  In the
opinion of the gurus of this group, is JOVE what I am looking for?

If so, where can I get source?
