I had a "Tiny Editor" (TED) for dos, in assembler, published by PCMagazine
years ago. It was really tiny, less than 3K - I remember I had to type by
hand all those assembler pages myself, I had no modem and compuserve was
unknown here, anyway.

So, I wonder: is there a comparably small editor in linux? "vi" is a
symlink to vim and occupies 1M, and joe is about 1/3 M.
