Wathne) Organization: Institute of Informatics, University of Bergen, Norway Lines: 15 There is already one good free editor out there. Crisp is a fairly good brief-clone. It's got full macro-facilities, key rebinding, windowing, etc. I have used it for some time, and my only complaint is that installing it for a few different terminal types takes a lot of time. It needs separate info-files for each keyboard and terminal type. It would also be nice if the newer macro language for brief was implemented. In the version i have, only the old-style macro language exists. And finally. X-support would be really nice. At lest basic mouse support. Anyone done it? -- ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ birger@ii.uib.no / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Birger A.
