[comp.sys.next] Can a docView belong to multiple ScrollViews?

Edit does not allow you to open a single file twice or more
for viewing different sections of a file at the same time.

Now that I started using Edit almost exclusively, this is
becoming one of the major pains of Edit.

Hopefully, someone is working on Edit or Edit replacement
to have this and other useful features, but I started thinking
if this is something that can be done easily within the
Applkit framework.

It seems that in order to have two separate views into a single
document, a sigle docView must be added to multiple ScrollViews
at the same time.  Is this possible?

How about Views in general?  Can a View added to multiple
superViews at the same time?
Considering that the instance variable 'superview' will contain
only one pointer, this probably is not possible.

Is anyone working on such an editor?

P.S.  Don't tell me to use EMACS.  I refuse.
