Lugaru Epsilon

The Epsilon Programmer's Editor is a multi-platform text editor that in addition to OS/2 is available for DOS, MS Windows, Linux, MacOS X and FreeBSD, and is sold as a platform independent license, i.e. you get a license to run it on all supported platforms. The program is very EMACS like and can take some EMACS extensions and offers a Brief command set compatibility as well. The OS/2 and DOS versions are no longer being developed but are sold and supported by the company.

This program was one of the first third party software to be shipped for the 16 bit version of OS/2 in 1987 (Epsilon 3.2).
