[comp.text] Desperately seeking mouse-drive UNIX editor

mostardi@ux1.lbl.gov (David Mostardi) (02/15/89)

I am looking for a mouse-driven UNIX line/text/screen editor
which is *easy* to learn and use.  My users already
have heard of vi and emacs and want nothing to do with them.

Such a blessed editor might run under X-Windows, and might
even be inexpensive or public domain.  It would certainly
have cut & paste features a la Macintosh. (I'm not picky :-)

My specific equipment consists of IBM-RT workstations
running AIX 2.2.1 and X11, but hey! I'll consider whatever
looks reasonable.

Thanks all,

Try `sam' (son of `jim') on a Blit or a Sun.  From all accounts, it's a 
better editor.
