[comp.os.vms] PD EDT lookalike

EVERHART%ARISIA.DECnet@GE-CRD.ARPA (04/26/88)

There is indeed something called SEDT which was on some old SIG tapes,
but only for VAX and Rainbow; the PC version has not (as far as I know)
been on any SIG tapes. The DECUS PC sig may possibly know something
I don't on this, but it's questionable). The Rainbow version HAS been.
	There has also been something called EDT which runs on a PC
and is fairly EDT like, but not so much as SEDT (stands for Super
EDT). It has appeared somewhere in DECUS submissions of mine; it originated
with Rick McClain and I added a macro capability.
	I wouldn't be surprised however to find SEDT floating around;
it is rumored to be on various BBSs for PC, and there was a Pascal
version in the DECUS library sometime back, submitted by Anker Bergsonne
(I hope I spelled that right) from Australia. The good news is that THAT
version came in source. The bad news is that source was VAX Pascal; hard
to port.
	SEDT runs very nicely on VAX, by the way. It uses the old EDT
keypad with extensions, but is blindingly fast. A clean PC port of it
would be most useful.
