I recommend an editor which is available for all the systems that you will be using. If you are using DOS only then any DOS editor will do such as vi, ed, freemacs, microemacs, epsilon, brief, kedit, edt, etc... If you are using multiple platforms then I would suggest that you get an editor that is available across all platforms. Assuming that you are using at least DOS and UNIX then the obvious choices are vi and some flavour of emacs. If you have a VAX/VMS system too then you could get EDT for DOS and UNIX too. If you have IBM VM/CMS then you can use KEDIT for DOS which is like XEDIT on CMS. -- Andy Toy, Mortice Kern Systems Inc., Internet: andy@mks.com 35 King Street North, Waterloo, UUCP: uunet!watmath!mks!andy Ontario, CANADA N2J 2W9 Phone: 519-884-2251 FAX: 519-884-8861

Can somebody give me a pointer to an EMACS command file, allowing emacs to
simulate EDT (or KED), the editor from VMS or RSX11 from DEC ?
Thanks, DikGroot.

I work at Peter Norton Computing, and the only editor I've heard of the programmers there using is Brief, by Underware - they all swear by it. It's available from any good software dealer that supplies utilities for programmers. I don't have a copy, though, and have never used it - I'm not a programmer there (so *the company* won't pay for it), and I'm a starving student (so *I* can't pay for it). /************************************************************************\ * John J.

In article <930@metapyr.UUCP> it was written: >If you like emacs as your programmer's editor, consider Epsilon. I'm not an >emacs user myself, but I've heard that Epsilon is the mose emacs-like editor >available for the IBM-PC (except freemacs, of course). As I think I mentioned a couple of weeks back, I use MicroEMACS everywhere. It is freely distributable and has appeared in comp.sources.* and is obtainable via anonymous ftp from various places. It is supplied in both source and binary form and the source will compile fine under almost any dialect of UNIX, VMS, MS-DOS, OS/2, the Amiga, Atari ST, etc. It is nice to be able to use the same editor everywhere. It also will permit the user to shell out to the OS and have STDOUT from whatever command was run put into its own window. Hence it works nicely with tcc or your favorite command-line compiler.... -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Internet (vastly preferable) : rja@edison.CHO.GE.COM UUCP (if you've got no choice): ...uunet!virginia!edison!rja ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Friday (frai-de) n.
