Looking into editors other than vi and emacs. I've found a
few things over the web but would appreciate any pointers you may
have to offer.

No editor flame wars please.

Thanks in advance,

I like Jed, and it is available for both DOS and Unix, and
may be customized very much. My favourite is the excellent Undo :-)

The viNOT manual and product can be downloaded using the following
instructions. You can get an evaluation password if after looking
at the manual you are interested (and if paying $395 is within
your search parameters).

CSI
512-343-6634

-------------------------------------------------------------------

CSI products may be accessed over the internet by pointing your
brouser to www.csisoft.com or by using FTP to ftp.csisoft.com

Once connected using ftp, the user id will be: anonymous
and your password will be your email address.

The current directory structure from the anonymous entry point directory is:

sco is for pre5.0 (OpenServer) SCO systems
sco_open is for 5.0 (OpenServer) SCO systems
aix is for IBM AIX systems
hpux_9 is for HP 9.x systems
hpux_10 is for HP 10.x systems
sun is for SUN systems and only contains vinot
documents contains many of the documents for CSI products in
MicroSoft word format

In these directories are one or more of the following files:
cimat.Z - ISAMATION for Informix C-ISAM files
mfcimat.Z - ISAMATION for MircroFocus Cobol ISAM files
rmcimat.Z - ISAMATION for R/M Cobol ISAM files
imat.Z - ISAMATION for TISAM files
dfm.Z - Directory / File manager (dfm, tx and show)
drw.Z - disk read/write utility (hex/ascii file display and edit)
prtscr.Z - print screen for HP-UX
tfpc.Z - To/Form PC programs to be used with TI's EM924 emulation package
tisam.Z - TISAM package
vinot.Z - character based, easy to use text editor

All of these are tar files. Once you have placed them on your machine in
a directory, such as /tmp, if you place it in a file file_name.Z,
perform: uncompress /tmp/file_name
cd / or /usr/bin
tar -xvf /tmp/file_name

For tfpc, dfm and tisam you must be in the root directory when you perform
the tar. For all of the other products, you should be in the directory
into which you want to place the executables (/usr/bin is the normal location).

After installing the software, execute "gspaid" to get the ID of your machine.
Either call (512-343-6634 or 407-649-0123) for an evaluation/release password
or email me the number.

Currently, not all of the products are in all of the directories. If

The following is an example of how to access a product. If you are using
Netscape, use ftp.csisoft.com as the site name you are accessing.

# ftp
ftp>open ftp.csisoft.com
ftp user id prompt: anonymous

ftp> cd products
ftp> cd sco
ftp> binary
ftp> get mfcimat.z
ftp> get dfm.z
ftp> quit
#

HP-UX 10.x ONLY
---------------

After using ftp to copy the product to /tmp on your machine, perform
the following steps.

1) cd /tmp
2) uncompress filename
3) mkdir csi
4) cd csi
5) tar -xvf ../filename
6) ./INSTALL

The INSTALL script will move the file to the /opt/csi directory and
set up the appropriate links.

Ed, the standard Unix text editor reaching from the PDP-7 throughout to the
GNU Hurd, probably also deserves our attention. I do prefer it to anything
else when I have to perform quick edits emacs would be to massive for. In
spite of its terse interface, I like ed as even simple and boring edits
become a sometimes challanging work of construction along the peculiar
incantation of regular expressions. Editing with ed perhaps ressembles Him
who perceives an object -- he would otherwise reach by a simple move of his
hand -- through a complicated optical device that equally distances and
circumscribes what he is aiming at, thus making uncertain its actual
possession. It is probably this use of uncertainty independent of the
complexity of the inanimate data that makes ed your friend. Editing with
the editor ed witnesses to this conviction that everything is (in need of)
mediation.

Go PICO all the way man. It's simple, fast, I write all of my code from
scratch using pico. If you have X-Win try Crisp or TED. Use pico,
simple editor.

I personally use a version of TECO for UNIX.

TECO is cryptic, hard to use, compact, and very powerful. I especially
like it for one-off medium sized text manipulations that I often find
myself doing as a sysadmin (something done routinely is probably better
coded in perl)
