By the way: TASM sources (w/ comments in Norwegian) are available at https://github.com/sverrehu/ancient-ms-dos-code/tree/main/asm/ed

In 2022 I had some short conversation with Sverre about SHH MENY III. Sources for Borland C++ and TASM can be found at https://github.com/sverrehu/ancient-ms-dos-code/tree/main/c/Menus/meny3 -- You probably also need https://github.com/sverrehu/ancient-ms-dos-code/tree/main/asm/Graphics/scrlow

I use Volkov Commander's internal editor for simple tasks.

I switched to Vim/Gvim on Linux two weeks ago, but now holidays are over and there is not much time to edit any files. :-|
