Hi Thomas,

the filesize should be unbeatable small:

# ls -la /usr/bin/e3
-r-xr-xr-x    1 root     root         16880 Jul 17 20:02 /usr/bin/e3

Hm, regarding platforms I found https://docs.huihoo.com/embedded-linux/
embedded-Linux-system-development-training-slides/text113.html which 
states it should also work on arm, so I will have a look at it.

Gentoo also provides it for riscv: https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/
app-editors/e3

Gentoo's description might also be convincing for you:
"It's heavily optimized for size and independent of libc or any other 
libraries, making it useful for mini-Linux distributions and rescue 
disks."

Regards, Bernd
