[comp.os.cpm] Editor for CP/M

a577@mindlink.UUCP (Curt Sampson) (02/06/90)

I'm looking for a modal in-memory editor to run on my Kaypro IV/84.  I really
like UNIX vi, but pretty much anything along those lines (I like neither
WordStar commands nor arrow keys) would probably do.  Can anyone out there help
me?
  Also, does anyone have a current address for Barry Workman & Assoc.?  I sent
them a letter (to their 112 Marion Ave., Pasidina, CA address) inquiring about
WRITE, but it was returned marked "Forewarding address expired."  Thanks again
for all your help.

When I owned a Kaypro II computer I purchased the Express full screen editor
from TCI. If memory serves is allowed you to redefine about everything. It
was a nice editor and very reasonably priced. Does anyone know the adress
or phone number of TCI?

I downloaded EXPRESS v1.0 from Simtel20 a couple of years ago.  This
is the "demo" version of EXPRESS.  TCI's address is listed in the
documentation as 17733 205th Ave. NE, Woodinville, WA 98072.  I wrote
to them to find out if EXPRESS v2.0 was still available, but my
postcard was returned by the post office with no forwarding address.

As it stands, EXPRESS v1.0 is a decent editor and it's free.  I was
able to configure it to make it resemble Emacs.  I was impressed
enough to want to buy v2.0.  If anyone knows where I can buy a copy of
v2.0, please let me know.

  Well, the authors are tightly associated with Micro Cornucopia magazine
(or at least *were*). You might try calling there to see if they know
an address. They are located in Bend, Oregon.
