I'm reasonably sure that BRIEF was only available for DOS.

There's a closed, proprietary editor called CRiSP (www.crisp.com) that
apparently has macro-level compatibility with BRIEF and runs under
Linux.  I've never tried it.

Both Emacs and XEmacs have a `crisp-mode' that gives a certain level
of BRIEF keystroke compatibility.  Maybe VIM does also.  All of those
are good, free editors.


Cheers,

Hovav.
