As a matter of fact, I used "credit" (CRt EDITor) on one of Intel's MDSs,
back in the days when the guy who got a couple of TMS2716 samples had to
guard them with his life. Of course, in the colleges, they were giving
away 8086's like popcorn. I'm almost sure the MDS (microprocessor
development system) was an industrialized 8080/S-100. I was working on
triple-redundant Naval Ordnance systems. (I had dropped out of college, to
get a _real_ education.)

And you've entirely ignored "Brief" - Basic Reconfigurable Interactive
Editing Facility - "the programmer's editor". It made WordHog look like
dBlimp.
