GNU nano is an enhanced clone of the Pico text editor.

The nano project was started because of a few \"problems\" with the wonderfully 
easy-to-use and friendly Pico text editor.

First and foremost is its license: the Pine suite does not use the GPL or a 
GPL-friendly license, and has unclear restrictions on redistribution.  Because 
of this, Pine and Pico are not included with many GNU/Linux distributions.  
Also, other features (like goto line number or search and replace) were 
unavailable until recently or require a command line flag.  Yuck.

GNU nano aims to solve these problems by emulating the functionality of Pico as 
closely as possible while addressing the problems above and perhaps providing 
other extra functionality. 

This project exists and you can see it at http://www.gnu.org/software/nano or
