e93 is a portable window based text editor oriented to the needs of
programmers. It was begun in 1993 (thus the name). It uses the mouse,
selections, cut/copy/paste, and closely follows the model of editors
on the Macintosh and NeXT platforms.
* e93 supports columnar selection. It achieves this by allowing multiple pieces
of the text to be selected simultaneously (this is perhaps its most unique
feature).
* e93 imposes no limits on the line length, file length, or number of
simultaneous files which it can edit.
* e93 is able to handle all 8-bit binary codes without complaint, or confusion.
* e93 is highly configurable without recompiling because scripts which control
the editor can be written in Tcl.
* e93 supports user-configurable syntax highlighting.
