| 525.2 | Full EDT required! | FXADM::SORRENTINO |  | Fri Jul 31 1987 15:32 | 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,

| 525.3 | How about Wordstar compatability? | SNDBOX::SMITH | William P.N. (WOOKIE::) Smith | Sat Aug 01 1987 23:17 | 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 03:55 | 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 08:41 | 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 04:37 | 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 10:11 | 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.
