Yes, you'd mentioned porting this. Big thanks (since sed is very
useful, one of my favorites)!

Sed actually derived from ed (as did grep), I think. And improved ed
(ex) is what later morphed into vi ("visual") and then VIM. The
advantage to sed (vs. ed) is that you don't have to load the entire
file at once, so sed can edit files larger than memory, one line at a
time. But if your data is on a slow fixed disk, it won't be faster
than in memory (of course). But I'm almost always on a RAM disk
anyways.    ;-)

Some people have gotten hanoi, dc, sokoban, arkanoid, unlambda, etc.
working in sed.       :-)
