Hmmm. You might take this for a joke, but have you checked into TECO? There is a TECO written in C for unix. TECO is really weird before you know it, but it can be screen oriented, or character oriented. You can write programs in it, and edit any kind of files. The original EMACS was written in TECO. ====================================================================== Everybody know that the DECstation - I'm on a bus is a pdp8, which is a RISC, but - on a psychodelic trip, where did MIPS computers get into it? - reading murder books - and tryin' to stay hip. - Johnny Billquist - Billy Idol D89.JOHNNY-BILLQUIST@AIDA.CSD.UU.SE ======================================================================
