I've got some hardcopy of an EDT clone for the Rainbow called
Small-EDT which isn't too bad, however -- the sources have been
hacked by me in an aborted attempt to squeeze them on to a DEC VT180.

I ended up with a 68k binary and a 52k (or so) TPA.

If anyone wants to data enter the beast... They're too lousy (condition)
for scanning and OCR.

This EDT actually handled line mode and full screen keypad mode.
