Subject: Wanted: A better graphic editor than xedit

This call now goes out worldwide in response to mail I've been receiving in
response to my original call. What I am looking for is a graphics-x-based
editor similar in appearance to xedit, but functionally superior. The code
should be public domain (like most other things on X), and most importantly
should be portable to a Sun 3/60 machine running X11 release 4. If ANYONE
has a source, please post its location and description to this newsgroup
as I have received word that such an animal (if it exists) is in high demand.

Thanks to the people who sent me words to the effect of switching to Emacs
(or the more free gnumacs); I tried it, but honestly, it seems tougher to
me to use (just even to move the cursor about) than vi, the chief reason I
opted for xedit in the first place.
