JED (http://jedsoft.org/jed/) is a text editor by John E. Davis. It is an ancient emacs clone but has very good engine and uses SLang instead of Lisp.
BRIEF was a powerful programmers text editor released first by Underwear (1986-1988) and later (1993) by Borland.
This project is a BRIEF v3.1 Emulation (with patches) For JED.

I was always used BRIEF compatible editors. When I moved to linux, first I patched jove (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JOVE), jove did the work for long time but jove does not support UTF8, so the last few years I use JED.
I suggest to see this project before continue http://grief.sourceforge.net and this https://github.com/nereusx/grief-fix
It should work on windows too, but I have no windows any more and I cant support it.
