The BRIEF text editor

Brief, BRIEF, or B.R.I.E.F., an acronym for Basic Reconfigurable Interactive Editing Facility,
was a popular programmer's text editor in the 1980s and early 1990s.

CBRIEF or BRIEF v3+ or Borland's BRIEF, was the Borland's version with C-like syntax macros;
the previous versions was used Lisp.

You ll need this patched version of JED.

It should work without the patched version but dont expect the BRIEF's text-selection modes.
