| 525.2 | Full EDT required! | FXADM::SORRENTINO | | Fri Jul 31 1987 16:32 | 13 |
|
But, Why??.... I knew some one would ask.
I have an application that uses emacs. Of course many people
around this company who use the application what EDT, soooo.
I need a FULL edt sim. PF1-7 command line stuff included.
I also submitted a note in the two conferences mentioned
in the previous reply.
Thanks,
Peter

| 525.3 | How about Wordstar compatability? | SNDBOX::SMITH | William P.N. (WOOKIE::) Smith | Sun Aug 02 1987 00:17 | 11 |
| I've heard there's a EMACS 'overlay' to make it look like Wordstar,
does anyone have a copy of that around? TPU that looks like Wordstar
would be great too.
Why? Because my fingers get confused switching between Wordstar
on my CP/M machine at home, EDT in RSX on WOOKIE, KED under RT-11,
TPU/EDT on SNDBOX, and EVE in Notes..... I suppose if you've got
TPU that runs under CP/M I could run EVE at home. :+)

| 525.4 | wordstar? yuk. | IOSG::HORSFIELD | a great lump of water flowing slowly downhill forever | Mon Aug 03 1987 04:55 | 14 |
| re -.1
wordstar? are you serious?
why not use sedt at home. that comes with an edt keypad. you
can also use sedt as your notes editor, 'cos it runs on VMS,
CPM (rainbow only?), MSDOS, PCDOS, and on whatever it is the
atari uses. somebody is getting an ultrix version going
too.
there's a conference at CURIE::SEDT - hit kp7 to add to
your notebook.

| 525.5 | Wordstar: everyone's second favorite | 30202::SMITH | William P.N. (WOOKIE::) Smith | Tue Aug 04 1987 09:41 | 6 |
| Yes, I am serious, wordstar really isn't that bad, lots of people
know it, and with a 7.1xx MHz Z-80 and a 1/2 meg hard disk cache,
it's substantially faster than EDT. Besides, my fingers know it!

| 525.6 | oh well - i'll agree to differ | IOSG::HORSFIELD | There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full | Wed Aug 05 1987 05:37 | 8 |
| yes, i know wordstar too. how can you be content to edit
just one file at a time? do later versions still dump you
at the bottom of the file if the search string is not found?
do they keep earlier versions of files yet? journalling...
(incidentally, i don't like EDT either)

| 525.7 | Just user preference | SNDBOX::SMITH | William P.N. (WOOKIE::) Smith | Sat Aug 08 1987 11:11 | 17 |
| Well, I very rarely _need_ to edit more than 1 file at a time, and
if I do there's always SSU or multiple screens on a VaxStation.
Yes, it still dumps you at the end of the file, but I expect that,
so it's not a big deal. As usual, there's only one .BAK file.
Most of these make sense, though, as CP/M is not multitasking or
multiuser and doesn't support version numbers. My problem is not
which editor is 'better', but too many different editors! Get TPU
to run on CP/M, RT-11, RSX, RTEM, and VMS, and I'd be more than
happy to take the time to learn all of it's little intricacies.
BTW: I am told that there are some mock-lisp 'overlays' for EMACS
that make it look like Wordstar. WORDSTARsomething.ML, WP.ML, and
WPPRO.ML appear to work for a friend. Anyone know if these are
in any ENET EMACS kits or if they will work with them?

| 525.8 | You can spawn an editor from NOTES | MARVIN::HEALEY | Brendan Healey, WACE | Fri Dec 04 1987 11:40 | 4 |
| You can select EMACS as your editor in NOTES if you want. See
help on set profile/editor.
