CED is Shareware, and has a commercial descendent, PCED, which is reviewed in the March 10 issue of PC Magazine. It is a very nice program which lets you recall previous commands, define synonyms which expand to (possibly) lengthy commands, and declare programs for which it should remember the parameters, so that typing the name without parameters is the same as typing the name with the same parameters as the previous time. As the review said, after using CED for a while, you will think of a PC without it as an old klunker. I sure know I don't want to do without it! If no one posts it by March 10, I will post it here in comp.sys.ibm.pc (this program would not be of general interest in net.sources). +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ | ARPA: RALF@B.GP.CS.CMU.EDU "Teaching COBOL ought to be | | AT&T: (412) 268-3053 (school) regarded as a criminal act" | | Snail: Ralf Brown --- Edsger Dijkstra | | Computer Science Department | | Carnegie-Mellon University DISCLAIMER?

Ced is a Public domain enchancement TSR program that allows editing of the DOS command line. It provides history of previously used commands as well. Additionally, some programs (gnuplot for instance) have been configured so that Ced can provide its functions within those programs. Ced is apparently freely distributable, provided that you include Ced and Ced.doc as a package. Ced.doc ascribes authorship to: Copyright 1985 Christopher J. Dunford 10057-2 Windstream Drive Columbia, Maryland 21044 Sorry, he didn't state an email address. Ced.doc provides quite a few clear examples on Ced's use. In general, I have found Ced to be relatively helpful. If anyone out there wants Ced, drop me a note. I'd prefer that you send a blank 5.25 inch disk, as that would keep net traffic down. We have a lot of problems with outgoing email at this site as well. Bill Mayhew Disision of Basic Medical Sciences Northeastern Ohio Universities' College of Med.
