I think the proof of the pudding is that you're not going to find ONE vendor designing *and advertising* a 'new and improved' command line editor, or using the words "and with our JAVA implementation you get the NEW command line editor!"
Like it or not the line editor is headed for the bit bucket along with Yars Revenge and DigDug. As far as the value of this thread goes I'd like to offer the following advice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MDQWuplMvA&context=C3b2876fADOEgsToPDskLsIuA HwAcWrSLimnCZh9s1 "Press the Stop Button" -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of LeRoy Dreyfuss Sent: Monday, February 20, 2012 5:45 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] mvToolbox--digression about why anyone wouldwanttelnet-based tools Just to throw my hat in the ring, I agree that a GUI is more desirable in this day and age. However, I've worked with Bro's mvToolbox for the last 6-7 years and it's been a godsend, shaving days and weeks from my efforts. I still keep a copy and recently reached out to Bro to bring it into my place of work. It does have its learning curve, largely because it is so feature-rich. Let's not forget the objective of the tookbox is simplifying MV development cross-platform (Bro told me a few weeks ago he's working on a jbase port). With its integration into so many telnet clients, mouse clicks and all, I think it does a very good job meeting it's objective. Do I wish it supported a true GUI front end? Sure. Does it get the job done without it? Sure does. My 30 cents.
