I need to locate an editor package with the following minimal criteria:
[] Must run on a NCR Tower 1632 machine (BTL UNIX(tm) System III
on a Motorola 68000 cpu).
[] Must support ~6 users, possibly doing simultaneous edits or
text preparation work, without killing the machine.
[] Would prefer using existing terminal base (Tandberg 2220's),
but will consider purchasing others. Blits(tm) and SUN(tm)
types are probably out of the price range.
[] Must be capable of at least two vertical windows (side-by-side).
[] Would prefer source to binary.
[] Must be able to be used by text editor/preparation people, i.e.
should have paragraph search, next sentence, etc. or the ability
to program in such features into soft-keys (a la EMACS).
[] Would be nice if it knew how to handle foreign language character
sets either by switching context or as hacks to fit in bits unused
by ASCII in 8 bit characters. This gets back to why source would
be desirable.
[] Support would be nice.
[] And is if that isn't enough of a dream, it should be reasonably
priced.
Basically, if someone has hacked "vi" to do 2 windows, I'd be thrilled.
Much obliged in advance,
