Last revision was made over a year ago, doesn't appear to fit with WP:GNG at first glance. There's barely any sources that I can find on the topic of the article, and the QED (text editor) article covers it more in-depth. AtlasDuane (talk) 13:47, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to QED (text editor). I tried search for several variations, such as "fred" "friendly editor" and "fred" "qed" "gmap", but there doesn't seem to be any coverage in reliable sources. It's entirely possible that the coverage exists but is hidden offline in ancient computing books, but one would expect something to show up on Google Books or Archive.org. If anyone finds sources that discuss this in depth, they can recreate it. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:23, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
