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.

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.
