I am seeking a PD/shareware/low cost editor. Note: I am not looking for a word processor (Real Men use Wordstar in help level 0 |-}) but an editor that has the kind of features that REDIT and TEDIT had on the IBM 370-3033 under TSS. (no-that is *NOT* eXtra-ugly-EDIT that VM/CMS and perhaps other brain damaged OS's use) Desired features include powerful find and replace (Find "?butter*" replace "?cheese*") where ? and * are wildcards, 'zones' (ie work only on specific columns) and other goodies. If this dream program shared command structure with Wordstar, so much the better. Suggestions, please. BTW, if anybody in the world still has 370-TSS, I'd love to hear from you-procdef power! (this ought to start a whole round of 'my editor can beat up on yours......') -- Have you ever WATCHED cable TV, Judge Kennedy? decuac!netsys!wb8foz

THE EDITOR that I would recommend is Epsilon from Lugaru Software Ltd. It is basically an Emacs and it just does EVERYTHING. You can edit virtually unlimited number of files simultaneously and you can open a process buffer to run other programs. For example, you can have your file been compiled and linked while you are editing another file. Macro are easy to define and saved and the editor comes with a C like language EEL with which your can modified your editor into virtually anything you like. Epsilon behaves fairly with TSR's. I have SideKick and Lightning and some other TSR's and I never have any problem. ==Chaoping
