[comp.sys.amiga] Editor with redirectable I/O

dinn@ug.cs.dal.ca (Michael Dinn) (09/25/90)

I'm in need of an editor with redirectable I/O (will run over AUX:). 

 Any ideas? EDIT is not, in my opinion, an editor :-)

		^^ Quite correct.

There is STEVIE (vi hope to be). All you need to do is remove a couple of things
dealing specifically with windows and recompile. The hardest
part would be the keyboard interface, and that would be simple.
It will work entirely with ANSI sequences to control the display.

	There was a port of the UN*X editor ex that runs just fine over AUX:
Of course, I'm not so sure that ex is all that much of an improvement over
EDIT....

	What we need is an AUX: that will handle termcap/terminfo entries.
