DOS-like text editors

I'm not sure what "DOS-like" means, but the primative editor I
remember from DOS days was rather like "ed" or maybe "ex" which
are probably installed by default on your OS.

If you're looking for a good, small (i.e., no Emacs or VIM) editor,
I recommend "jed" which emulates those two and others reasonably
well.

I tried one on FreeBSD ("e3" ?) which emulated those two and a few
others and was less than 10000 bytes, statically compiled.  Amazing.

There's also an "easy editor" ("ee") which is relatively popular,
for such things.
