[comp.editors] WANTED: Simple editor function lib/source code

tope@enea.se (Tommy Petersson) (04/09/91)

I'm in the need for a simple editor. It should be linked into
a Sybase application on UNIX systems, so it has to be a callable
function library or source code.

The system is run on both X terminals and vt220's, but on X
terminals it's just in a window that looks the same as a vt220.
The main program is in C, so this language would of course be
the best.

We want to be able to run in only a part of the screen, with data
from the Sybase application still visible on the top half.

We have one curses-based editor that we tried, but got into conflicts
between the curses library and the Sybase library which both should
be linked to the program. They both used symbols like WINDOW...

Only a small amount of functions are needed, but one important
thing is to be able to use the keys WE want to use (those that are
not used by the Sybase application).

Any answers or other forms of help could be emailed to:
