These are what we have on our system (OpenVMS 6.2/Alpha):

What      Type            Source
TPU       text + X11      OpenVMS
EDT       text            OpenVMS
TECO      text            OpenVMS
EX        text            OpenVMS + POSIX
ED        text            OpenVMS + POSIX
VI        text            OpenVMS + POSIX
JED       text            ftp.wku.edu in [.vms.fileserver]jed.zip
PICO      text            vms.huji.ac.il, directory [.local] (part of PINE)
NEDIT     X11             ftp.fnal.gov
NOTEPAD   X11             OpenVMS + DECWindows
DECwrite  X11             Layered software, "free" in CSLG

PICO is probably the simplest of the lot, perfect of occasional use as a
text editor on a terminal or terminal emulator.  A bit underpowered for
serious editing jobs though.

NEDIT is what I suggest for people using X11.

Both are installed on both are OpenVMS and Unix systems so that people 
moving from one to another don't have to switch editors. 

(DECwrite is fun, but massive overkill for simple text editing!)
