That "someone" is myself.  As to why did it "take so long", EDT was 
considered obsolete for decades. Nobody was actively maintaining it. I 
just recently posted some comments about fixing it. It was an unofficial 
fix, I just did it one day. But EDT fans may be happy to know that EDT 
was the first editor to run on x86. I forget why EVE/TPU took longer, it 
may have been a compiler bug that affected it but not EDT. A different 
problem prevented EDT from working out of the box however.
