It's a shareware from 1995 called Vision Edit, by PrimaSoft. It's not sophisticated like Aurora, but it's practical and I like it. I fixed the problem yesterday: in the batch file that runs it, I added a line "FDAPM speed3" to drop processor speed below 200 MHz, and then "FDAPM speed8" in the end to return to normal speed. This is the *third* thing I do in order to continue using this particular program. The other two are: loading Japheth's HDPMI16.EXE because apparently the original DPMI won't work under FreeDOS, and loading DPAKBD to make it FDAPM-aware.
