ENCORE Information Systems in Fort Lauderdale has been evaluating a third party editor on the Multimax (UNIX System V). This is a full screen editor derived from XEDIT on VM CMS from IBM. The editor is called uniXEDIT and comes from Dynasoft Corporation out of Rosemont,Illinois. Dynasoft Corporation 6300 North River Road Rosemont, Illinois 60018 708-696-4450 This editor is also very similar to the KEDIT product used in the DOS PC world. So far, uniXEDIT reads all of the files that VI will read. The arrow keys also function to position within the file. Commands can be given on command line as well as in a prefix area on each line. Terminal emulation is VT100. There is also a product called uniREXX which comes from the same company that can run with uniXEDIT to do additional file manipulation and interact with the UNIX operating system like shell scripts. If there is any further interest in this product and I can be of assistance, feel free to contact me. Del Disch

Is it possible to use other terminal types when using uniXEDIT? Did the writers of uniXEDIT use the Unix termcap or terminfo library routines (directly, or via curses) for screen drawing, which would allow an indefinitely large number of terminals to be used? If not, why not? Malcolm L. Carlock Internet: malc@unrvax.unr.edu UUCP: uunet!unrvax!malc

They did use termcap/terminfo. They are supposedly working on an X11-based version too. I used UniXEDIT to find a bug in Sun's termcap implementation using NeWS's default h19 terminal and UniXEDIT. Currently runs on Sun, Apollo, Xenix, and a few others. There is a companion UniREXX product that handles ReXX for UNIX. It would be a necessity to fully implement XEDIT. -- -tank- #include <std/disclaimer.h> /* nobody knows the trouble I .... */ tank@apctrc.trc.amoco.com ..!uunet!apctrc!tank
