Frederick Way, of Case Western Reserve University, has constructed this editor using J. It uses the "/" and "," conventions known to some APLers. Here is Fred's (edited) letter. From fxw3@cwns4.INS.CWRU.Edu Tue Dec 18 12:47:18 1990 Date: Tue, 18 Dec 90 12:47:06 -0500 From: fxw3@po.CWRU.Edu (Frederick Way) Subject: Voila! Cc: fxw3@cwns4.INS.CWRU.Edu Status: O VOILA!!!! A trivial "/" (delete character) and "," (insert text) editor for J that seems to work: L0=.'$.=.s#$.}:s=.0 0 1 1 0{.~3*_1+2*0=#inp=.1!:1 (1)}:y. 1!:2 (2)' L1=.'y.=.(/:(i.#y.),($cac)#inp i.'',''){y.,cac=.}.inp#~cv=.+./\inp='',''' L2=.'$:(-.''/''=(#y.){.(-.cv)#inp)#y.'
