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.

Anker Berg-Sonne's SEDT editor has pretty good EDT emulation. It's not public-domain (worse luck); but Anker (anker@anker.dec.com or anker@ curie.dec.com) is a good guy. When last seen, SEDT ran on VMS and on MSDOS (DEC boxes only -- "the man who pays the piper ..."); but it's been a while; and I'm sure the TECHNICAL problems of a Unix-port are minimal. N.B. I'm a Neanderthal myself -- given VI and EMACS, I'll choose EMACS any time; but I prefer SEDT to both.

If a public domain version of EDT which runs under Unix is available, I would also like a copy. If this makes me a Neanderthal, so be it. I used to really complain about EDT until I learned vi and found out what a really crummy editor is. I can be reached at: grimesg%sjsca4@spar.slb.com Thanks, George Grimes
