There is a company called Boston Business Computing Limited that
sells PC-EDT, a fully compatible (command, keyboard) EDT from VAX/VMS
for the IBM PC and PC/AT. The last time I saw it it was at revision
level 2, and from what I have heard it is now at level 4. Even at 2
it was excellent. I know it was fully command compatible with the VMS
version because I used EDT on VMS at the same time as PC-EDT on PCs
and ATs. It determines the current machinetype and adjusts itself to
that keyboard, so those of you who remember (or your fingers do) the
vt100 keypad can keep hitting those keys in exactly the same
locations! It seels for $250 a copy as of a year ago, I don't know
what it is now. Sorry I don't have contact information for Boston
Business Computing. This program is worth the money.

Thanks for the kind words. PC/EDT is now at revision 3.13. 3.15 is
