Subject: apologies
Oops - after posting the message about the visual editor from Dr. Dobb's,
I find that OKC-UNIX doesn't have a protocol for people on other sites
to ftp files away. *sigh*
It has now been placed on mit-mc where w8sdz at mc requested, and he will
announce when it has been put in the cpm directory.
For those of you not familiar with this package, it is a public domain
visual editor. The (small C) source was published about a year ago in
Dr. Dobb's. The version I uploaded has been transformed into BDS C, and
has a few extra nobs and whistles, and slightly more speed. It is written
in a highly modular form, and is extensively commented about. I had no trouble
making it work on my system, and likewise for the other people locally who've
tried it out.
However - I don't use, having paid good money (and well-spent) for Mince. One
person locally decided it was to slow, and went back to his (unix) ed-based
editor. Therefore, I won't say that what's on mc will work. I will say that it
should be close. Likewise, if you have problems with it, I can't really help
with those. If pieces are missing, then I can help.
redfacedly,
mike
