Sed is my favorite tool. (I wrote about 20 scripts for PSR Invaders.)

But I find bcc/dev86 is pretty buggy, especially the older DOS-hosted one.

Nevertheless, I find MiniSed pretty useful. Years ago, I rebuilt it with DJGPP and TurboC++. I use it a lot, actually. Mostly useful in comparison to other Seds, which had supported some non-standard things: \< \> {m,n}

Portability and compatibility for Sed is harder than it sounds. Don't be naive, test every version you can find. (I always tested my scripts with like 15 Sed implementations because there'd always be a few hidden problems otherwise.)

It's based upon Eric Raymond's old code, so it shares a lot with hhsed, sedmod, and csed.
