Keith, I'd be most interested in a download of that Dr Dobbs text editor you typed in -- but what's a "shar archive"? Does that mean I can FTP it from somewhere? Or you can maybe mail it to me (in chunks - IF it doesn't overload your/my mailer or Usenet)? Sorry, checked all over, but couldn't find any paper heavy enough to make a twenty-pound note! Considered pasting a regular letter to a cement block, but couldn't quite see the purpose in it! Hope this weightless electronic mail will suffice!

Stephen (et al) A wise friend on the net gave me some good advice - to ask for any sort of transfer of that editor from our friend Keith in London would create some pretty bad phone bills for some of the nets/routers in between. I didn't really look at the message routing, but going back now -- I gotta agree! He also says that editor is "available in the CP/M archives" -- I asked him for specific pointers (I assume he means SIMTEL20's treasure trove), and will be glad to pass on to you (et al) when confirmed. Alternatively, if that is NOT available here -- Keith, I'm presently involved in another software transfer (all Public Domain, of course) from the UK, and can link you up with my Old Country contact. Possibly you could piggyback that program over with him (though all this now seems like somewhat of a kludge). Not wanting to interfere - but just save all some problems and not abuse this wonderful system we have here... Regards, David Kirschbaum Toad Hall ABN.ISCAMS@USC-ISID

Keith,
I, too, am interested in the Dobbs screen editor. I don't know
what a "shar archive" is but will do my best to find out. I only have
15-pound note paper, so have sent this on the "usual" electrons.
Thanks.

In the Dr Dobbs journal (No 63, Jan '82) was published a screen
editor for cpm systems. I have typed the thing in and will post it
to anyone as a shar archive who mails me on the net or contacts
me at,

It's not 'vi' but it's better than nothing!!
Written requests on the back of a twenty pound note please!!
