Intorduction
^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is a list of some of the editors availible on the net.
This list is constantly updated. There will always be a updated
list on the VI/EX archives.
I've restricted the various Emacs implementations to GNU emacs and
microemacs, because of Craig Finseth's posting on emacs implementations.
Also, if I haven't listed an editor here that you want to find, then it
may be a good idea for you to look at the 'How to find sources' article
which is regularly posted to comp.sources.wanted, alt.sources and
news.answers.
And then when you find it, tell me about it. I would be exstremly happy
if you could submit the same information that the editors in this posting
have.
I've tried to list at least ONE site in each part of the world (Europe,
North America, Australia and Asia).
Anonymous FTP
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To fetch a file from anomymous FTP do the following steps after beeing
connected to the FTP server:
- When the FTP server asks for a login, try either 'anonymous' or
'ftp'.
- When the FTP server asks for a password, your password is the
same as your login-ID and your hostname. To enter this properly,
use the following format:
LoginID@HostName.DomainName.
DO NOT use 'ident' or 'guest' since this is bad nettiquette.
If you are going to use FTP, use the site that is the closest to you
counting NET-VICE. If you don't know what I'm talking about, please
ask someone who know (ie. your system administrator).
Why YOU shold use the site closest to you NET-VICE:
- Faster access.
- Reducing the net load.
- Keeping the site.
Please do NOT use ftp to the sites during peak hours at the various
locations. Please respect this or else, if there is too much FTP'ing
going on prime time to the various places, the ftp site may have to
shut down. NON OF US WOULD WANT THAT, WOULD WE ?
So what is the peak hours at the various places in the world ? - Usualy
from 0800 AM to 0500 PM LOCAL TIME.
Do absolutely NOT post a question to this news-group or other news-groups
questions about how to use FTP. Ask this question to your local system
administrator or at your local help desk. There is also a FAQ on how to
use FTP. Look for it in the news.answers newsgroups.
I need your help !
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I have only access to UNIX, CMS, VMS and MSDOS computers. Therefore
editors from other machines and OS' will be exstremly limited unless
YOU help me out.
Editor writers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you are a editor writer I would be happy to receive information about
your editor. What I want is: Editor name, Current release, Maintainer
(name and email adress), what OS the editor run's on. The editor's
file name (Example: fooBarEd.tar.Z) for easy searching with archie is a
must :-), either this or you include FTP sites where the editor is
sure to be found. A description of your editor should be limited to
15 lines of text.

The listings
^^^^^^^^^^^^
After a Anonymous FTP entry there is a date. This date is when the FAQ
maintainer last cheked the existance of the entry.
The date in the Current release, is the date when the maintainer got
the information about the upgrade or when the upgrade was announced on
NetNews.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Editor: Ant's Editor.
Current Release: Anthony's Editor May 92
Maintainer: Anthony Howe <ant@mks.com>
Operating system(s):
UXIX based systems.
Atari ST, MS-DOS
AE'92 merges two schools of thought by providing both VI
style (modual) and EMACS style (modeless) editing
interfaces. One can start an editor session in one style
or the other and switch during a session.
The source should be portable to any environment that
provides a K&R C compiler and a CURSES library.
The editor has Online help and support for function keys on
using TERMCAP.
The source can be obtained directly from the author.
--------------
Editor: ce
Current Release: v1.1e (Jun 30 1992)
Maintainer: Charles Henrich (henrich@crs.cl.msu.edu)
Anonymous FTP:
crs.cl.msu.edu:/pub/cedist.tar.Z (920810)
Operating system(s):
UNIX (ATT3B2, SUN, AIX3, NEXT, CONVEX)
The CE editor is a modeless, easy to use and configurable
editor.
The neat thing about this editor is that if your terminal
is not in the set of configured terminals, you can invoke
it with a command line option that prompts you for the
various keystrokes it uses, and then creates a .file for
that terminal for you, so it will always work. It makes
extensive use of function keys, and lets you use escape
sequences if you don't have them.

Editor: Crisp
Current Release: 2.2e
Maintainer: Paul Fox <fox@demon.co.uk>
Anonymous FTP:
ftp.uu.net:pub/crisp/cr_2.2e.tar.Z.*
Crisp is a Brief lookalike.
Crisp has also gone comercial for the laiter versions.
--------------
Editor: Elvis
Current Release: 1.5
Maintainer: Steve Kirkendall <kirkenda@jov.cs.pdx.edu>
Anonymous FTP:
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/elvis-1.4.tar.Z
ftp.uu.net:packages/gnu/elvis-1.4.tar.Z
Any alt.sources archives for version 1.5.
Operating system(s):
MS-Dos 3.xx and up.
Atari TOS, OS/2, AmigaDOS.
UNIX based systems.
Elvis is one of the best PD Vi clones around. It is not
100% compatible with the real vi/ex. Elvis has many small
extensions, some omissions, and a few features which are
implemented in a slightly different manner. A lot of
people uses Elvis instead of the real 'VI' :-)
--------------
Editor: FPTED
Current Release: R4.0 (18/Feb/92)
Maintainer: Fernando J. G. Pereira (fjp@minerva.inesc.pt)
Anonymous FTP:
minerva.inesc.pt:pub/aplic/fpted4.tar.Z
Operating system(s):
UNIX based systems.
FPTED is a, easy to use, text editor, that allows the user
to do almost all of the most used features in other text
editors. It isn't as powerful as "vi", or "emacs", but I
think, it's easy to use, its runtime version is very small
(in disk space), and it lets you do almost everything you
usually do in other editors.
--------------
Editor: GNU Emacs
Current Release: 18.58
Maintainer: Joseph Arceneux
Anonymous FTP:
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/emacs-18.58.tar.Z
ftp.uu.net:packages/gnu/emacs/18.58.Z.*
GNU Emacs is one of the most popular editors around. It's
very big, very powerful and extensible, and lots of people
use it. In a Usenet poll, it had about equal footing with
vi in terms of number of people using it. Gnu.emacs.help
and Comp.emacs are good places to look for more information
about GNU Emacs.
--------------
Editor: JOE's editor.
Current Release: 29 Sept 1988??
Maintainer: Joseph H. Allen <jhallen@wpi.wpi.edu>
Anonymous FTP:
wpi.wpi.edu:stusrc/joe.tar.Z
Joe is a small and easily configurable editor, with
wordstar bindings as default. Apparently the ideal editor
for users coming from the IBM PC/DOS world.
--------------
Editor: Jstevie
Current Release: 1.3
Maintainer: Junn Ohta <ohta@src.ricoh.co.jp>
Anonymous FTP:
utsun.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp [133.11.11.11], as ftp/jstevie1.3.tar.Z
Operating system(s):
UNIX, MS-DOS, OS/2
Jstevie is an improved version of Stevie 3.69 and can be
used to edit Japanese text encoded in either Shift JIS,
7-bit JIS, or EUC, as well as other 8-bit text. It also
features tag stack, abbreviations, and map(!)s. To edit
Japanese on UNIX, you should link it to the ONEW library,
which is a client interface to the Wnn Kanji Server. The
latest version of ONEW is available from etlport.etl.go.jp
[192.31.197.99].

OS/2 and Atari (TOS and MiNT).
ME2 is a medium-small, portable, extendable Emacs' like
editor that is known to compile and run on a wide flavor of
architechtures. Standalone, ME2 is pretty mundane - you
need to customize it to make full use of it. A compiled
language is provided for this as well as lots of example
programs: a C mode, paren matching, a visual towers of
hanoi, incremental searching, programmers calculator, mark
rings, multi file search (and replace) picture mode (from
GNU Emacs), gomoku (from GNU Emacs) and lots more. Other
features include undo and the ability to have concurrent
processes (such as make) running in a buffer (Unix only).

Editor: Mined
Current Release: July 1992 (comp.editors postings)
Maintainer: Thomas Wolff (wolff@inf.fu-berlin.de)
Operating system(s):
UNIX, MS-DOS, VMS
Its original version is the editor that comes along with
Andrew S. Tanenbaum's operating system minix. This version
has som exchangemet over the original: enabling arbitrary
terminals, windows with dynamic size changes, full 8 bit
compatibility and support, function keys, improved user
interface.
Has a great deal of commands. Modeless editor.
This editor is a good candidate for people comming from the
MS-DOS world.

Pico is originally derived from MicroEmacs 3.6 and is found
inside the 'Pine' mail system composer.
Pico is a simple, modeless, display-oriented text editor based
on the Pine mail system composer. Commands are displayed at
the bottom of the screen, and context sensitive help is provided.
As characters are typed they are immediately inserted into the
text. Editing commands are entered using control-key combinations.
The editor has three basic features: paragraph justification,
case insensitive searching, and a spelling checker.
Michael Seibel (mikes@cac.washington.edu) and Laurence Lundblade
(lgl@cac.washington.edu) has written the Pico editor.
--------------
Editor: REDT
Current Release: Version 2.1 (25 Nov 91 00:12:20 GMT)
Maintainer: Roger Nelson (rnelson@yoda.eecs.wsu.edu)
Operating system(s):
UNIX (SGI/IRIX, HP-UX, SunOS, AT&S/SysV, DEC/ULTRIX)
AmigaOS
REDT follows a VMS/EDT text editing model and is similar to
the SEDT text editor by Anker Berg-Sonne. REDT is curses
based and should compile under any UNIX system.
A version for the Amiga is now available by request.
REDT allows you to make full use of your keyboard so you
can bind commands to almost any escape/control/function key
sequence. A full screen interactive utility is provided to
generate [the human readable] command key binding files.
REDT can be compiled with Mike Sweet's cmenu library for
pulldown menus, and gadgets.
Some of the features:
- Columnwise cut and paste.
- Cursor movement and character insertion past EOLN.
- Format ruler line and paragraph fill and justify.
- Multiple buffers (9).
- Macro language.
The editor can be obtained from the maintainer via email.
He will eventualy setup a anonymous FTP site when SGI
get's on the network in a few months.

Editor: SLIM
Current Release: 0.9 (24 Jul 92 03:40:19 GMT)

Anonymous FTP:
cs.ubc.ca:/ftp/pickup/terse/trs140f.zip The full distribution: ~175K
Operating system(s):
MSDOS
The SLIM editor, a bigger brother to TERSE.
SLIM is a big brother of TERSE. It can do anything TERSE
can, and a lot more, including: "read file into buffer"
command, "switch to another file" command <Alt-E>, "go to
line number" command <Alt-G>, "set right margin" command
<Alt-M>, "swap cursor and mark" command <Shift-Tab>, "pump
block thru external filter" command <Alt-F>, "exchange
marked block with paste buffer" command <Keypad *>, "right
margin set" command <Alt-M> and word wrap, and display of
the hexadecimal value of the current char in the status line.
Many features can be easily added to SLIM by virtue of the
"pump block thru buffer command. Word counting, date and
time stamping, formatting, sorting, column summation,
character sets conversions are just a few examples.
Sophisticated users should probably get copy of a DOS port
of the famous UNIX 'sed' and 'awk', and harness their power
to enhance SLIM. The effects of the extenal filter can be
undone.

Maintainer: Matt Fichtenbaum
Anonymous FTP:
usc.edu:pub/teco
ftp.uu.net:usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume9/*
munnari.oz.au:comp.sources.unix/volume9/*
The best editor *ever*. :-) Commands look like line noise
(even more so than vi).
The usc.edu has perhaps the most complete collection of
tecos avalible. It has documentation, macros and a wealth
of teco implementations.
--------------
Editor: TERSE
Current Release: 1.4 (24 Jul 92 03:40:19 GMT)
Maintainer: Joseph Gil <yogi@cs.ubc.ca>
Anonymous FTP:
wsmr-simtel20.army.mil:PD1:<MSDOS.EDITOR>TERSE11.ZIP
cs.ubc.ca:/ftp/pickup/terse/trs140f.zip The full distribution: ~175K
cs.ubc.ca:/ftp/pickup/terse/trs140a.zip An abridged distribution: ~27K
Operating system(s):
MSDOS
TERSE is a tiny (only 4096 bytes) but amazingly powerful
full-screen editor for files of up to 64K in length. TERSE
runs on all PC compatible machines. Its command keys are
very similar to those of the famous BRIEF editor (by
UnderWare Inc.). TERSE can edit both UNIX and MS-DOS style
text files as well as binary files. No hacker's disk is
complete without it. No disk, be it hard or floppy, is too
full to include it.
--------------
Editor: Vile
Current Release: 3.9
Maintainer: Paul Fox <pgf@cayman.com>
Anonymous FTP:
ftp.cayman.com:pub/vile/vile3.18shar.Z
Vile is a vi feelalike. It's based around Microemacs, but
modifed to look (feel) like vi. You can't really say its a
vi clone, because its not *that* vi-like.
