stevenehrbarNo, really. It's so important that it is the kiss of death if your OS doesn't support it.
You have ed on a standard install of Mac OS X. You have ed in any standard Linux distro. You have ed's cousin, edlin, under any standard install of Windows Vista or XP.
You do not have ed in a standard install of BeOS 5. You do not have ed on Mac OS 9. You only have a DOS version of edlin on OS/2. You do not have edlin in Windows 98. All these operating systems are dead, beaten or replaced by operating systems that by default have ed(lin).
Indeed, ed is the standard text editor.
