Hi, I was wondering if someone might be able to point to some very simple editor code (preferably in C). I do not want something with shells and other whistles. I just want something simple that I can build on. Thanks, -- John bitnet: davis@ohstpy internet: davis@pacific.mps.ohio-state.edu

I just want something simple that I can build on. My favorite is DTE, by Douglas Thomson (doug@giaea.oz). Although I obtained my copy by another means, I believe the complete source and binaries are on SIMTEL20 in PD1:<MSDOS.EDITOR> as DTE5-1.ZIP. Beside Doug's generous gift of his source to the public domain, there are two things I like about DTE: 1) it is WordStar-like and 2) it is portable to MS-DOS and (at least) HP unix systems. I was able to compile it OK with hpux 7.0 and Turbo C++ 1.01 (but unfortunately not BC++ 2.0). Someday I'll find out why. --- Joe
