The question was raised about alternate CP/M-68K editors. Jon, It depends on what system you are running (I mean the HOST hardware). There are several alternative editors. One, if you have the CPU speed, is to use one of the CP/M-80 emulators and run any of the traditional CP/M full screen editors (WordStar, VEDIT, etc.). Two, I believe there is a PD full-screen editor on SIMTEL-20 for the CP/M-68K system. Three, MINCE (MINCE Is Not Complete Emacs) is available for CP/M-68K. I think TriSoft may still have a copy or two on the shelves. Four, there is also a visual editor from ERG for CP/M-68K, but I don't recommend it. The evaluation copy TriSoft received certainly had a lot of bugs. Five, pick up a copy of some good editor in source code for the Atari ST-520. It should be easy to 'port it. Let me know if I can help.
