Does anyone out there know if there is a version of EDT which will run under Unix (specifically Ultrix V2.0?) This would have to support all the screen mode and keypad mode stuff which EDT does. Either PD or commercial packages would do. *** Disclaimer *** This is not for myself. There are some Neanderthal types within this department who cannot get their brains around vi in a reasonable length of time and want the editor they know and (presumably) love. I'd make them use ed myself. Thanks. David Shoat Dept. of Medical Cardiology Glasgow Royal Infirmary.

It also has two modes to emulate vi; if you're not careful you might wind up getting addicted to vi with windows (!). It should run on Ultrix, from what I remember. Gnu Emacs is free if someone near you has the sources. If not, you can buy a tape (about $150 US) from the company in Boston that distributes it. Tune into the newsgroup comp.emacs for details. -- bd

I dont know of any EDT editor for unix, but if you are willing to give them more than they asked for, install gnu emacs. gnu emacs has a edt emulation mode that is (from what I understand) quite good. /Bob... -- {...}!rutgers!mende mende@aramis.rutgers.edu mende@zodiac.bitnet Didn't I buy a 1951 Packard from you last March in Cairo?

We had a commercial version of EMACS (I think it was Gosling) and it came with macros that bound a VT100 keypad to emulate EDT and did a pretty decent job. The emacs EDT emulation added multiple window capability (which was nice). It didn't do any of the command line stuff. You could no doubt do the same for GNUemacs. David Albrecht

"M-x edt-emulation-on" does it in GNU 18.xx; I'm not sure how good the emulation is, not being an EDT user.

My company produces an EDT editor which runs under Ultrix v2.0. We have been marketing EDT on the PC since 1985, and EDT on Ultrix since 1986. Its current incarnation is "EDT+". Our address: Boston Business Computing, Ltd. 360 Merrimack Street Lawrence, Massachusetts 01843 (617) 683-7920 This posting was generated using EDT+ on a Celerity machine. EDT+ is available for a number of UNIXen. By the way, please note that we are in no way related to Boston Software Works, which to the best of my knowledge does not supply a similar program. -- Chris Faylor uunet!ednor!cgf
