Now I know how to use the editor, I'll answer your question properly (haha)
The code to Tierra is avaiable by ftp at:

      micros.hensa.ac.uk/micros/ibmpc/h/h144

There should be two files there, tier1.zip and tier2.zip.
Last time I tried to get it (3 yrs ago!), the source code files had some sort
of problem. I solved it by running EDIT, loading each one and saving it.
Yes, this is a tedious way of doing it but it worked.
Erm. Oh, I think there is a problem with compiling it but which I solved by
removing all the offending bits and pieces. Hope you have lots of memory
(I was running it on a Network in college and all the teachers were
suspicious. I mean, leaving this machine on with strange bars flashing away
everyday for a week would arouse a teeny bit of suspicion!).
