Ded was an easy-to-use modeless display editor with a simple and consistent set of features.
Development was started in the 70s at QMC as a successor to em and it spread to several sites in the UK. It seems to have fallen out of use by the end of the 80s.

This has been successfully compiled as recently as 2018 on FreeBSD. There are 32 bit issues and of course it doesn't handle UTF-8 - but if anyone wants to see what it's like, the (somewhat fixed, from 2006, based on a file obtained from Bornat) sources and a few notes are at: http://shell.pubnix.net/~raphael/ded/
