Sed is probably my favorite *nix tool. I've used it quite a bit
in recent years.

For a long time I was using HHsed, then Csed, but also GNU sed
on the side (which was better but bigger and slower, harder to
rebuild, not 8086 friendly). Minised is also interesting but it
lacks one (non-standard) feature that I sometimes found useful.

HHsed and Csed had upstream DOS builds while Minised is very easy
to rebuild. All of them share a common lineage, all derivatives
of a common code base (based upon code by Eric S. Raymond).
But only Minised is (maybe?) maintained nowadays (last updated
in 2014, but the maintainer is still active). Granted, it's
probably stable, but there's still plenty that could be done
to improve it.

Just saying, since I prefer FreeDOS, I'm focused on what works
there. And the DJGPP port of GNU sed works pretty well. I haven't
tested literally everything, obviously, but compared to the
others, it all seems to work correctly, in my experience.

So, thanks again for your efforts.
