[comp.os.cpm] CP/M-68k editors

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.
