Dear fellow CDE users,
There is on sourceforge a version of Nirvana Editor (NEdit) that can
work with UTF-8 encoding called XNEdit.
https://sourceforge.net/p/xnedit/code/ci/master/tree/
For the older NEdit, that only accepted ISO8859-1 encoding, there was a
patch by Per Grahn
that allowed to use the drag and drop protocol of CDE to take a file in
dtfile and open it by dropping
it on NEdit. I have tried to apply that patch on XNEdit and it turned
out that it worked after very minimal
changes on Ubuntu 22.04 with CDE 2.5.1. I have submitted that patch to
the XNEdit developpers, and
they have merged it in XNEdit source. They have also checked that it
worked in FreeBSD. It is not enabled
by default, but there are comments in the makefile.linux explaining how
to do so.
I am posting this message in case some users of the other platforms
(Net/OpenBSD, OpenIndiana) would
want to try that patch as well.
Maybe a mention of XNEdit and how to enable the patch could be added to
the CDE wiki.
Best,
E. Orignac
