Its been bookmarked for years.  Lot of stuff there many dead links and
some only lead to
executables.  Many just repeats of the Walnutcreek CP/M CDrom and i've
had that for well over
20 years.

The real hunt was good links, source or source that could uncrunched,
unLBR, UnLZH, Unhuffed, unarced or
unarked.

Most however lead to a compredded vversion of a executable only and
exceeds the size of edit and
the one from DRdobbs is large. regardless of the C compiler used.

Finally found the source for Edit.  Not a favorite as its line but i can
build in a simple flavor
of VTECO with it  Its from SIGM vol16.   My usual editor for CP/M is
VEDIT and has been since
late '79.  In between that KED on RT-11 and TPU on VAX/VMS it wasn't
till the mid 386 era that
I had to use a PC for anything and it was VEDIT there too till winders
then Notepad+

Why not Vedit, 11K.

Linux is generally gedit with language selections added even 8080/z80 asm.

Sheesh it originated there and was ported to 68K and Z8K.  When One says
CP/M they are
Its safe to assume 8080/8085/z80/z180/280/NSC800 or other z80 core.
