I just went to the link supplied by Peter to download Ximple.  I was able to
get the executable and the source, but the link to the doc is broken.  Does
anyone have the doc?

Subject: Did IBM ever publish TEDIT source code?

I've been trying to make ned work on Debian, and it's a royal pain.

Ned's licensing prevents it from being stuck on someone else's distribution
anyway, and the license manager piece requires you have a working network,
so it's not useful for initial installs.

It obviously WOULD be useful to have a 3270-aware screen editor that you
could throw onto an initrd and have available during the initial Linux
install, as well as for those times the network is broken.  For that reason,
it would have to be very small, and it doesn't have to be very capable,
since it's basically an emergency rescue editor.

So what I was thinking was that TEDIT (came with OS/2) was pretty much the
right model.  Did IBM ever publish the source code to it?

If not, does anyone know of another very, very small editor with fairly
modular display code, that might not be too hard to port to Linux/390 using
the 3270 as its display device?
