Corrections[edit]

Late DOS edit (and "system editor" from it) = clones of Norton's Commander Editor (reduced Norton Editor within Norton Commander), in turn partly inspired by Pico (but forgoing its CTRL-based commands). OS/2 was merely an attempt by IBM to make a hardware-portable DOS. Today's E3 (in antiX linux among others) uses (alongside JOE) Wordstar-inspired bindings. JOE's default controls are a micture of Emacs and WS controls, while featuring full WS, Pico and Emacs modes. antiX does NOT contain a true Emacs editor. Rather, it symlinks the "emacs" command to E3 in Emacs mode.

P.S. Do more research/find more references before starting even a template! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.173.12.68 (talk) 11:50, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
