There was also the client we had in PNG, where access was via a flakey
1200 modem i.e. no error correction, and VI was out of the question.
I learned to use ED when V5 first appeared (down-under) in the 70s (it was
the *only* editor) and I'm glad that I did.
I must grab a copy of UPE and read it again, just for old times' sake.
