Since several people have sent me mail asking where to get Epsilon at a better price than the $195 direct from Lugaru price, I though I'd post it. The Programmer's Shop (800) 421-8006 The price for (Dos) Epsilon 5.0 as of 4/17 is $109. I am a very happy Epsilon user, although I admit I haven't used GNU Emacs, or Sage, and only briefly Brief. Epsilon is fast, has undo and redo, handles multiple windows and buffers, edits large files, has regular expression searching, and many other features. It indents C code the way I like it, and its features are easy to extend with EEL (which although is not an interpreter, can be all done without leaving Epsilon). Epsilon is CUI, not GUI. No mouse support. I was frustrated with microEmacs when it couldn't edit its own 360Kb doc file - I routinely edit files > 5 Mb with Epsilon. I'm not associated with Lugaru, but would be glad to answer any questions about Epsilon - I initially purchased Epsilon after Net advice. Stanton Loh u2zj@vax5.cit.cornell.edu

Anyone know if there is a demo or crippleware version of Epsilon that I can try out? I hate to pay over $100 for software that may not meet my requirements. -- Jerry Gardner, NJ6A Altos Computer Systems UUCP: {sun|pyramid|sco|amdahl|uunet}!altos!jerry 2641 Orchard Parkway Internet: jerry@altos.com San Jose, CA 95134 Help stamp out vi in our lifetime.

If you order directly from Lugaru, you get a 30 day free trial period, and you can return it for full refund with no questions asked. -- Tom Almy toma@sail.labs.tek.com Standard Disclaimers Apply
