[comp.os.vms] Integrating the VAX/VMS editor EDT with TeX

akk2@uhura.cc.rochester.edu (Atul Kacker) (03/18/89)

Is there a way to assign EDT to be the editor of choice on a VAX/VMS
system such that typing an "e" in response to the TeX error prompt will
open up the file in EDT at that line?  I know this is possible on Unix
systems where emacs or vi are invoked by "e" if the TEXEDIT environment 
variable has been properly defined.

Thanks

I don't know of anyone who has incorporated an interface to EDT, but
Adrian Clark (whose e-mail address I have, but not right now (send me a 
note for details)) has written an interface to TPU, which although not
perfect (it may have been improved, but the version I have is pretty 
shaky) is workable.

We have a locally develloped EDT emulator for TPU that got me off of TPU
VERY quickly... TPU is light years better (although it has no line mode
support). For details of the latter, send a note to CHRIS@YMIR.BITNET
