Is there any PD editor that regards the file, NOT as a 1-dimensional array of characters (including CRLFs), but rather, as a 2d array of printable characters (and CRLFs are special)? P.S. The Yale Z editor did this; but its source is (or was) in Bliss, which is about as useful over here as Sanskrit. P.P.S. Anker Berg-Sonne's SEDT editor does this; but it is not public-domain, worse luck. -- Gideon Yuval, +972-52-522255 (work), -2-690992 (home), yuval@taux01.nsc.com

Chaser: I'm told the Rand Editor uses an "infinite quarterplane" model, and thus meets the bill. I have no other information whatsoever about it, and would be grateful for more. -- Gideon Yuval, +972-52-522255 (work), -2-690992 (home), yuval@taux01.nsc.com

Yep; it spawned a number of clones, three of which I know about:
1. ined from Interactive Systems Corp.; runs under Unix and VMS
2. mined from hackers at Caltech; runs under Unix and VMS
3. caged from hackers at Caltech; runs on HP "Chipmonk" workstations
I really loved that style of editor, and it took me painful months to
switch gears and learn how to use vi.

Are any of the hackers that wrote "mined" and "caged" still around? if so, I would be grateful for more information. -- Gideon Yuval, +972-52-522255 (work), -2-690992 (home), yuval@taux01.nsc.com
