1) Does anyone know of a good C editor for the 128? I don't need a compiler, just an editor. 2) I was just poking around milton and found the UNIX-128 files. Just how good is this? I can't imagine it being a full implementation, but even a reasonable facsimile would be nice. I see it has a tiny version of Emacs. Wow, that'd be great if it worked well. Unfortunately, I won't be able to use any of this for another month as I'm still in school and my computer's at home. Any info would be greatly appreciated. -- Jin Choi jsc@athena.mit.edu 617-232-3257

I'm going to have Scott Stephen remove it real soon.... (I wrote it, so I should know). I've finished a complete rewrite of all the code, with the exception of one nasty VT100 bug in the telecommunications software. Emacs 2.00 will accept up to 700 lines of code now, and is (relatively) bug-free. I've given out some pre-release copies, and I'm hearing good things (no bug reports yet...). No, it's not a full implementation (in 128K...?), but does support about 120 of the more popular commands. It has an assembler, spreadsheet, emacs-style editor, telecommunications software, a few games... enough to keep busy with. I'll send it to milton as soon as I can figure out why VT100 works uncompiled, but dies when compiled :(. Gregg Riedel consp24@bingsuns.pod.binghamton.edu

Although it includes new features when used with Z3PLUS, it also works great with plain old CP/M. ZDE 1.3 fixes some bugs in the older VDE, and it's also somewhat faster on screen updates. This is one of the best public doman editors available for ANY computer. ******************************************************************************* * Randy Winchester * randy@mit.edu * PO Box 1074, Cambridge, MA 02142 * *******************************************************************************

Anywhere ftp'able? You used to be able to find this in the archive at wuarchive.wustl.edu in the directory mirrors/cpm/c128. (The file was, I believe, VDE-C128.ARK). A few weeks ago, the disk on which the mirrors directory was stored had died, and I haven't tried to connect to this since then. Another archive chock full of CP/M stuff, apparently, is wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (did I get that right?), but I myself have yet to succesfully connect to this one. -Rob Knop rknop@tybalt.caltech.edu
