Thanks Nigel.
Hi Jim, As Nigel pointed out it is very easy to port nano so you may want to try it.
We have not seen much demand of nano on AIX and right now there is no plan for nano from AIX toolbox as we already provide vim and emacs.

On AIX 7.3 TL0 sp1
Downloaded nano-6.4.tar.gz from https://www.nano-editor.org/download.php
I already had GNC C compiler installed
gunzipped and untarred
cd nano-64
./configure --enable-tiny
make
--- it FAILED
As root: dnf install ncurses-devel.ppc
make
----- it worked this time
As root: make install
/usr/local/bin/nano
---- works.
OK very minimal testing. I prefer UNIX vi or Linux vim.
