Are there any other programmable editors available other than Emacs/Crisp that have a full programming language (preferrably C-like), and run on multiple platforms (Unix machines, VMS, OS2, DOS, Apple Mac.)?

How about C itself? Each time you need to extend your editor, you would have to recompile everything that is changed. Seriously, this seems like a simple enough approach. I guess it depends on how complex your editor extensions will be, and how many and how often you do them. -- /***************************************************************************\ / Phil Howard -- KA9WGN -- phil@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu | Guns don't aim guns at \ \ Lietuva laisva -- Brivu Latviju -- Eesti vabaks | people; CRIMINALS do!! / \***************************************************************************/

How about TECO :-) Free implementations are available for many flavours of Unix, DOS and of course, VMS. Mark -- Mark C. Henderson, Computer Research Laboratory, Tektronix, Inc. MS 50-662, P.O.

Yes, Multi-Edit from American Cybernetics in Arizona. (602)968-1945. Older versions than the current can be found on some BBS sites. ME is based on the Emacs philosophy of putting a small core of window, buffer, and text functions in a high level compiled language and then using these to implement a "macro" language. In the case of GNU Emacs, it is Elisp, in ME, it is a PASCAL like language. If you buy the professional version, you also get a debugger and the complete macro source which implements most of the editor and all of the user interface (configuration, menus, compiling from within the editor). This is a full-featured programmer's editor including language specific smart-indenting, brace matching, language logic template creattion (type "s", press ALT-T and get a switch statement in "C"). You can also get document formatting module, and commmunications module if you so desire. Supports EMS swapping for files during editing, EMS swapping for itself during DOS shelling or compiles. Unlimited number of files being edited, with combined size limited by amount of available swap space (can be configured to swap to EMS until runs out, then to disk). On EGA, supports 43/50 line modes. More than one file can be concurrently visible, with the split being horizontal OR vertical. I have no connection with American Cybernetics other than that of a very satisfied customer. -- ----- Dion Hollenbeck (619) 455-5590 x2814 Megatek Corporation, 9645 Scranton Road, San Diego, CA 92121 uunet!megatek!hollen or hollen@megatek.uucp

You've got me hooked. PLEASEPLEASE tell me where I can find an implementation of TECO for Messedup-Dos! I know it won't have that mystic 300 Baud feeling that I remember, but I'd *LOVE* to play with it again! (How full an implementation?) Thanks for any pointers (referenced, please) you might be able to give. -- Morgan Schweers +---- "My boss would kill me if he knew I wanted to program in TECO if he knew what it was in the first place!" -- mrs@netcom.com ----+
