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.

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

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.

Current Release: v1.1e (Jun 30 1992)

Anonymous FTP:

|
|
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.

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' :-)

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.

|
|

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.

Joe is a small and easily configurable editor, with

Japanese on UNIX, you should link it to the ONEW library,

latest version of ONEW is available from etlport.etl.go.jp

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

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.

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 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.
