Some time back I had posted on the net, inquiring about if some one use brief/crisp/grief editor on any Unix platform. I got quite a few replies, either asking about it or detailing their experience with it. The thing in common was that, who ever uses it loves it. Thanks a lot for all the hints / help / inquiries. This editor goes by the name crisp or grief. Crisp is the most recent name and the last revision available is version 1.9. It is available on uunet archive.

However I compiled it on SCO-Unix machine by changing the CRISP.Inst file so that the xenix files get linked, and then brought the executables across on SCO-Xenix and guess what, that worked. I am presently running it successfully under Sunview on SunOS4.1 on SparcStation, on SCO-Xenix 2.3.2 on AT&T 386e and on SCO-Unix 3.2 on AT&T 386e. If some one out their has terminal and keyboard macros for wyse60, tvi925, SunMonitors for SunSparcstation etc i.e. the one present in (/usr/local/crisp/macros/tty and /usr/local/crisp/macros/kbd) Please send them to me and then I would archive it at uunet. There are a few bugs, some of them I resolved, and some I could not. If any one of you happens to know the fixes I would appreciate if you could EMAIL me your response. Here is a list of them which I encountered: _______________________________________________________________ UNRESOLVED ISSUES: 1) If some one out their has terminal and keyboard macros for wyse60, tvi925, SunMonitors for SunSparcstation etc i.e. the one present in (/usr/local/crisp/macros/tty and /usr/local/crisp/macros/kbd) Please send them to me and then I would archive it at uunet. 2) The column marking (mark 2) and inserting do not behave properly. No Solution. 3) I am wondering if any one has written a macro which basically emulates "repeat the last command of vi i.e the "." command". For example, if I issue a command like 10dd in vi, and then want go another part in the file and issue "." command, it again deletes 10 lines. _____________________________________________________________________ RESOLVED ISSUES: 1) SEARCH AND TRANSLATE DO NOT WORK WHEN USING F5 AND F6 KEY PROPERLY. Solution: the problem is that in the config.c file which came long with the source code, F5 is defined as "search_fwd", which does not work. There are two fixes to it, any one would work: Note the difference between "_" and "-". a) change the definition of F5 in config.c to "search-fwd" and F6 to "translate-fwd" and then recompile. b) in the file ../src/crisp/crisp.m insert the following statement: (assign_to_key "<F5>" "search-fwd"); (assign_to_key "<F6>" "translate-fwd"); and then compile it as: cm -o /usr/local/crisp/macros/crisp.cm crisp.m you can do the same modifications in the ../src/crisp/tty/<termtype.m> file with the same result. 2) USING BOOKMARKS GIVES A CORE DUMP. Solution: courtsey: uunet!proto!cims2!kew and shj@login.dkuug.dk There are actually a couple of fixes for this one, one of which was my very lazy way out, and the other which addresses the low-level problem (which makes my lazy fix make sense). My fix was to add a macro: ---cut here---cut here---cut here---cut here---cut here---cut here---cut here (macro _Goto_Bookmark ( /* There's a major bug in the default goto_bookmark code ** will cause it to dump core on occasion. The code is ** OK for the actual moving, but for some reason, when the ** code has to prompt for a bookmark number, it gets goofy. ** This code simply does the prompting. */ (int bm_number) (if (! (get_parm 0 bm_number "Goto Bookmarker [0-9]: ")) (return)) (if (&& (>= bm_number 0) (<= bm_number 10)) ( (goto_bookmark bm_number) (set_center_of_window) ) ;else ( (message "Out of Range") ) ) ) ) ---cut here---cut here---cut here---cut here---cut here---cut here---cut here and you also have to add the following to crisp.m (where all of the other autoloads are), assuming that the abovemacro is contained in a file named bookmark.m: (autoload "bookmark" "_Goto_Bookmark") This works but only puts a band-aid on the real problem which is addressed by the following fix that came across the net the other day (Danger! I've not tested this one): (This was posted by: Stig Jacobsen shj@login.dkuug.dk ) Here's a ugly, kludgy patch for the bug that makes Crisp 1.9 coredump when you try to goto a bookmark with Alt-G or the goto_bookmark built-in. Feed the below text as input to patch. == cut == *** builtin.c Tue Sep 25 02:30:07 1990 --- ../crisp/builtin.c Tue Sep 4 22:40:40 1990 *************** *** 397,402 **** --- 397,407 ---- trace_acc(); bp->reference++; # endif + /* Couldn't find the size of 'argv', but 5 is a nice number... */ + /* bookmark.goto_bookmark doesn't test argc and crashes if argv's */ + /* beyond argc contains bogus stuff. This kludges around it. */ + for (i=argc; i<5; i++) /* shj */ + argv[i].l_flags = F_NULL; /* shj */ return free_saved(saved_str, ss_cnt); } free_saved(saved_str, ss_cnt) == cut == So there you go. Two fixes (one lazy, one more sophisticated), for one problem. Hope this helps. Also, I don't know if you're interested, but I developed a set of macros that make crisp work well with sccs, doing automatic check-in's if the file was checked out, searching for an sccs file if the file you asked for doesn't exist, etc. Give me a holler if you want the stuff; it's rather poorly commented (as things we write for ourselves usually is). I also have some rcs macros, but they are really peculiar to my circumstance, so I'm hesitant to offer them (twist my arm). _____________________________________________________________________ Thanks Rohit Rohit Mehrotra Fleet Credit Corporation 8325 NW 53rd St, Miami, Fl 33166.
