A net discussion on text editors for Un*x systems earlier this fall
included a lot of praise for the Rand editor (called `ned', among other
things) as an easily-learned, powerful text editor. Could someone please
mail me the address at Rand which I should contact to obtain a copy?
Alternatively, since I believe that the editor is non-proprietary, is
there an arpa host from which I can obtain it by ftp?
As usual, thanks in advance.

The Rand Editor "E" is the modern version of the rather old and crufty ned editor. We're still working on it and will have a new version 'E18' out around December 1. [The current version is E17]. The distribution includes full sources to the Editor and to the Rand "MH" mail handling software. We have put both into the public domain, but still charge a $250 handling fee to for the hassle of doing a distribution. Interested parties may write or call for more info: E/MH Distribution Rand Corporation 1700 Main Street Santa Monica, CA 90406 phone: (213)393-0411 ask for "E & MH Distribution" uucp: decvax!randvax!distribu arpa: distribu@rand-unix -- Jim Guyton p.s. the distribution is much too big for net.sources.
