• The traditional home for 3rd-party editing-modes and other S-lang extensions is at http://jedmodes.sourceforge.net/. Many of the files are bundled into the Debian package jed-extra.
• A separate, more recent set of tools, editing-modes and helpfiles is at the "RED Project", aka "Revisited jED". Most of these files are omni-platform, but Dino's ms-Windows version is specifically supported: easier font/size changes, batfile support, etc. That site also has a page detailing obtaining/compiling on various platforms, including instructions to get it working on Minix3.
