I've added questions I get from folks but feel free to add your questions (and answers!)
- Is there a text editor that looks like EDIT on DOS but works on Linux or Mac/OS?

I recommend trying SetEdit. It is the closest I've found. -- RonPerrella
- Another option would be RHIDE, originally written for DJGPP, but subsequently ported to Linux. It and SetEdit are both console mode IDEs with features beyond a pure editor. They have a Borland Turbo-vision style interface and the WordStar command set, and are broadly similar in appearance and operation. RHIDE is part of the FreeDOS? distribution.
- Is there a text editor that looks like Notepad on Windows but works on Linux or Mac/OS?
Notepad is pretty simple to emulate. A large number of Linux programs can easily accomodate. I recommend trying GEdit if you
are running something like Ubuntu. Another option (oldie but goodie) is NEdit.
- Another alternative is Leafpad or Mousepad. Both are simple GtK based editors. Mousepad is based on Leafpad, and is the standard editor for the XFCE desktop environment.

- Presently, editors are classified into overlapping familys using the following criteria:
- * platform
- * operating system
- * implementation language (i.e. source language)
- * content edited (i.e. target content specialty)
- * ancestor and
- * type.
- Have you thought about extending these criteria to allow more flexible searches and matches for particular features? Two possible ways of doing so are:
- 1. letting users add arbitrary (implicitly defined) tags, and
- 2. adding features from a reference list, each with an explicit definition e.g.
- * syntax highlighting
- * text folding
- * block (column) editing
