What is BBC?  Google wasn't much help given the British Broadcasting 
Company's enormous web footprint.

Yes, nedit.  It is old but it still works (especially for column 
operations, which I use a lot).  Admittedly it is useless with utf 
encoded text, but 99.999% of what I do is ANSI, so that is rarely an 
issue.
