Last I heard, EDWIN (a text editor written in Scheme, by Chris Hanson if I remember correctly) was yet to be released. What's the latest on this? My plan is to try to bring it up under T. Has anyone done this, or tried and given up for some reason? -- Scott

Date: Wed, 18 Jan 89 08:47:25 PDT From: gyro@kestrel.arpa (Scott B. Layson) Last I heard, EDWIN (a text editor written in Scheme, by Chris Hanson if I remember correctly) was yet to be released. What's the latest on this? It's conceivable that it will be released this year, but that depends on what kind of time I have available. Right now we're busy getting our compiler ready for release; after that I'll see. I would be willing, but reluctant, to give you a "current" copy: one that runs on the 6.001 Chipmunks, under an older non-R3RS version of Scheme, taking advantage of the screen hardware to avoid doing the hairy redisplay computation. But if you're willing to wait a while the released version should work with X (and perhaps with terminals in general), and many of the user-visible differences between Edwin and GNU Emacs will have been eliminated.
