Arrrrggghhhhh Enough allready the thread from hell that refuses to DIE DIE DIE ;-) Here are your editors *e3--which has multiple configurations vi, emacs,wordstar, pico bindings *gedit *gxedit *nano--a GNU version of a text editor to make LookNFeel of Pico. *kedit *kwrite *nedit *joe--which has multiple configurations including WS, pico and emacs bindings *jed--which is a mini-emacs by default but can be configured *yudit--which handles unicode *vi--which is installed on darn near everything Visual editor, Improved *emacs--a cool OS/deslktop in search of a good text editor :-} EMACS officially stands for Editing MACroS, but unofficially, http://www.wards.net/~bill/humor/geek/emacs_abbrev.shtml *cooledit--Python rides again, threatening to eclipse lisp someday *gmc--Yes it is an editor, too, as well as a file manager and several other things *Ted--Yup, it was on the Mandrake 5.3 Applications CD--it does .rtf files *pico--back away and make the sign of the cross... not GPL not even free *ed--back away and throw holy water. It might be GPL but it is designed to shackle your mind. *micro-emacs -- Well someone decided this text editor didn;'t have to be everything to everybody so they stripped out the other features and... *MINCE--(Mince IS Not Complete Emacs) from Mark of the Unicorn. It was once commercial and was eventually made into Borland's Sprint *ae--for those of you who are Waterloo fans or who remember the dominance UniWat had in Computer Science for many years, Anthony's editor (a C implementation of emacs command set, by Anthony Howe) *AMIS-emacs in pascal *Elle--(Elle Looks Like Emacs) another C implementation Well I would need a novella to list all the editors available, but you get the idea. vi and emacs are immensely popular and text editors in general even more so. They fall into three basic categories, line oriented editors, character editors, and visual editors. ed is a character oriented editor with some line orientation. Most other line editors died long ago; some really powerful ones existed, like the editor provided by John Walker for the MarinChip Systems (TMS 9900 on an S-100 bus, which was the ORIGINAL platform for InterACT (later renamed AUTOCAD)) Anyway, google your fingers off finding those, and naturally get one up on me by finding those I failed to mention. But please let this thread rest in peace. Civileme
