Has anyone ever managed to find an editor that could be used while using a terminal connected to the serial port using aux:? I know this has been discussed many times before, but I never did find out anything more than rumors. If anyone has one that is working, I would appreciate somehow getting a copy of it. Thanks, rsn

Which don't seem to exist anywhere, at least not in binary form. About a month ago I posted a description of a couple of binary patches to the latest version of Stevie to make it work over AUX:. If anyone wants them, mail me. I, too, would prefer to use mg, though. john John Flanagan Space Sciences Laboratory johnf@sag4.ssl.berkeley.edu University of California, Berkeley (...!ucbvax!sag4.ssl!johnf) Berkeley, CA 94720 (415) 642-7635

Try using Z that comes with the MANX C compiler...

I can run the 3.6 Z editor over AUX:, even from unix while using dsoc (dnet); just needs something to interpret Amiga ansi if you want to make much sense out of it (like another Amiga) :^)

Do you know something that I don't, or was this a > guess? I'd like to get z to work over dnet on a 'cliterm'...or any editor for that matter...I would think that the problems that people have with AUX and an editor are going to be quite nearly the same as the ones I encounter with using dnet and an editor... Oh, and what *IS* this 'mg' that I heard so much about? I've never heard about it until this discussion on editors with aux started... bob -- -=-=-=- Insert Standard Disclaimer Here, Please... -=-=-=- /************* MS-Dos? Me?

Stevie (vi clone, source included) should work with AUX:.
If it doesn't, let me know and I'll berate the author (of one
of the Amiga ports), Fred Walter, for ignoring my suggestion
in this regard. :-)
By the way, don't ever "run stevie <filename>", just as you wouldn't
"vi <filename> &" under UNIX. Stevie will crash, I believe, if
you try to "run" it in the background.
Stevie has been posted on comp.{sources,binaries}.amiga, and is
available on Fish disks.

(Im using a terminal emulator set for > VT100) The problem is that when Stevie checks for the screen size (by the ACTION_DISK_INFO method), I guess AUX: must return garbage (some really big number). One way around this (with version 3.6) is to set the number of lines with the enviroment variable EXINIT. As well, if your terminal doesn't support the same codes as the Amiga does for turning the cursor on and off, you'll have to use some file zapping program to replace those codes with NULL's. I'll add code to Stevie to check for silly screen sizes so that it will be usable with AUX: without the above hacks. fred
