Does anyone know if there is an editor available similar to the Turbo-Pascal, WordStar or Edwin editors on the PC clones for the Amiga? Alternatively, is source available for an editor that would be easily modifiable for this purpose? Also, if there is one available for Unix, I would like to know. -- Dan Howell <...!pyramid!ucsbcsl!nessus!ivucsb!dan> -- <ucsbcsl!nessus!ivucsb!dan@pyramid.com> -- * Adress path subject to change without notice.

Unfortunately, I don't. I bought Scribble due to info in AmigaWorld
claiming that the command set is "Wordstar-compatible." This is
totally false, so if you hear this about Scribble, don't believe it.

Warning: the following has contents that might look commercial, and I do not seem to have my ^L handy: I'd take Uedit. When I bought it originally, it included a WordStar emulation. I never used this, so I can't tell about the quality of this, but full source for the emulation was included. Also Uedit is probably the most user modifiable text editor on the Amiga. Every command is written in a well-documented Command language and full source for all commands is included. Writing new commands is quite easy, and totally rewriting the functionality from scratch is quite feasible. As someone else remarked, support is the best to be found. The author has send me six updates in half a year, and only recently asked me to pay for it! There was a special offer that might still be in effect: Full Uedit with Command Language Docs on disk: $25. Otherwise: Complete with large printed manual: $50. Uedit is available only directly from the author: Rick Stiles, PO Box 666, Washinton, IN 47501, USA. You should probably ask explicitly for the WordStar (UStar) emulation. ***** Disclaimer: I have no connection to the author except as an *extremely* satisfied customer! *** end (Disclaim) Yours, Henrik Clausen, hrc@daimi.dk

With in about half an hour I was able to duplicate the main behaviour of vi using an example in a GNU (trademark berkeley?) emacs manual. Don White zehntel\!donw Box 271177 Concord, CA. 94527-1177

Also, one can only charge for the "physical act of transferring a copy", depending on the medium.
