The name "E" has been used for other text editors. The most notable of these E editors, perhaps, was initially distributed in 1984 from IBM's Research Division. Designed and written by ClarkMaurer?, who also originated the award winning and widely used SlickEdit programmers editor, E was a fast and flexible text editor that was initially most notable for handling very large files in DOS extended memory. Subsequent versions of E, including E2, E3, EOS2?, and [OS/2 Enhanced Editor]? included a powerful REXX?-like programming language that was used to develop early versions of syntax-directed editing, a capability that SlickEdit continues to be acclaimed for. If you liked that various members of the E editor family, you might want to try SlickEdit or other editors in the IbmEditorFamily, like X2 or PE..

Another E was actually Ecce, but was known as E because the early operating systems on which it ran generally used single-letter commands (like D for Delete, C for Compile, E for Edit, etc).
