I am not *seriously* develpoing a plain text editor and hopping it to replace any existing monsters. I developed it just as an exercise of programming in InterViews. This is actually my first real program in InterViews, X, and even C++. I think it is not difficult to develop something using InterViews which was difficult. I think it is worth letting other InterViews fans to share my experience. Actually, many people show interests in it. I believe it is not because how powerful the editor is, but how the functions be implemented in InterViews. Many people tell me they are going to use iedit as part of their project using InterViews. And it will be part of my project, which is a X based user environment. -- Yufan =========================================================================== || JANET : yufan@uk.ac.keele.cs || Yufan Hu, || || BITNET: yufan%cs.kl.ac.uk@ukacrl || Department of Computer Science, || || other : yufan@cs.keele.ac.uk || University of Keele, Keele, || || UUCP : ...!ukc!kl-cs!yufan || Staffordshire.
