e3
e3 is a full-screen, user-friendly text editor with an interface similar to that of either WordStar, Emacs, Pico, Nedit, or vi. It's heavily optimized for size and independent of libc or any other libraries, making it useful for mini-Linux distributions and rescue disks. The assembler version supports Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Win9x, QNX, Atheos, BeOS, ELKS, and DOS. There is also a separately distributed version written in C which supports some other Unix versions and CygWin. It is also possible to use regular expressions by using child processes like sed. e3 has a built in arithmetic calculator.

Due help of Chr.Ostheimer (thanks!) e3c should
compile and run on mipsel cpu very well
starting in release 2.6.3 (aka 2.63) .
All the best,

nice little editor; watch out for file permissions bug
I just started using this. Its a nice little editor and small so I can carry it around on a disk to different jobs.
I found one possible bug: when the editor saves a file, it creates a new file which has permissions modified by umask; this results in unexpected change to the permissions on the file. The "backup" of the saved file is not affected.
(test on RH 2.2 and e3 in WS mode)
