In the late eighties I used to use E, an editor developed internally at IBM. My dad had
retired from there by then but got it from
ex-colleagues. I see you can get it from here now

FWIW, it's part of PC-DOS 7, 2000 (7.01) and 7.1.
7.1 is a free download from IBM as part of the ServerGuide Scripting
Toolkit. It's only the kernel and a few utilities, though. You need
the rest of PC-DOS 2000, but that was bundled with VirtualPC which
Microsoft bought and have made a free download.
I've blogged about how to assemble your own copy, and point to some
VirtualBox pre-installed disk images.

I also used WordStar on those OSs and I'm sure
lots of you will fondly remember the LIST viewer by Vernon Buerg. I loved that program.
Oh my yes! I was a regular user of LIST in my OS/2 days. I had
forgotten all about it!
