Of course, pico is still pico. Which I find a bit sad: my editor of choise
is still an improved version of uemacs, and pico actually comes from the
same uemacs history, but has different key-bindings for just enough keys
to be slightly confusing.
Can I get a URL for the source for your editor? The one on kernel.org
doesn't compile, and probably hasn't for a long time.

Oh, it compiles with trivial modifications. Not cleanly, but it works.
I put my git repo on
kernel.org:/pub/software/editors/uemacs/uemacs.git
but it will take a moment to mirror out.
The "readme" says non-commercial only, but I asked Daniel Lawrence if it
was ok to include it in commercial distributions a long time ago, and he
said yes. Sadly, I've lost that email, so I don't have any paper trail for
that. So you should consider the readme binding.

The thing is, it's not a wonderful editor. It's small, and good enough,
but I really wished somebody wrote something that handled UTF-8, for
example. But I've got the keybindings hardcoded in my spine, so I can't
ever change.

Gaah. You guys shamed me into actually trying to clean up the sources a
bit.
It's by no means done, but some of it is even sparse-clean now.
I suspect there's a lot of it that still works mainly by luck than because
it does anything right.
