A very long time ago I wrote a simple editor based on libmenu so it is a text based editor with pulldown menus. I think I committed it to localsrc. It would mean that licencing is not an issue. I cannot guuarantee it is not highly buggy but could be worth a look. -- Brett Lymn -- Sent from my NetBSD device.
