[comp.unix.questions] Full Screen Editor for IBM PC

isn01@ms3.UUCP (Larry Johnson, ISN-HIOS Prog. Dir.) (12/18/87)

Does anyone know of a good, simple full-screen editor in the public domain
(or VERY cheap), which runs well on an IBM-PC, UNIX SysV and BSD 4.2-3?

Source Code would be needed.  Preferably written in 'C'.

Please respond via E-mail.  Thanks.

It isn't public domain, it may not be 'simple' (depends on your 
definition), cheap is a relative term, but it IS available on the
specified versions of UNIX and IBM-PCs as well.  It's vi.
The PC version lists for $150, and I've seen it for $100.  Is that
cheap enough?

You might try JOVE.  The latest Unix version is available by anonymous ftp
from rochester.arpa.  I *think* that the same code can be used for the PC
version (the include files refer to ms dos).  You might try writing to
jpayne@cs.rochester.edu (Jonathan Payne), the author of the program.  He has
been very helpful to me in the past.
