Well, Q + DOSEMU (including an extra Mb of simulated XMS) is about the same 
in memory resources as Emacs alone on my box.  It fails miserably with 
regards to CPU time though.
The "free" editor with unix is 'ed' - it runs even with a paper terminal.  If 
you have a fancy glass terminal, go for 'vi'.
Question:  I run Q 3.0 and have noticed that its wordwrap is horrible when 
you edit previously written text, as compared to e.g. vi and emacs.  Is this 
better now with the later versions?
Kind regards
Thorbjoern
