G'Day,

A friend of mine has an AMSTRAD 1512 PC with no expansion boards.

Can anyone recommend a Word Processor that will run on the system
(512K) and still have enough RAM left to cope with documents up to
30 pages in length?

Hi there everybody!  I don't know where to post this, so hopefully someone
will see it here and/or post it to the right place.

Anyway, I need some help with vi (or another editor on the vax). I have
managed to accumulate a 14 megabyte file (yes, 14MB) in my directory, and
I'd like to use an editor to strip out the deadwood bytes.

However, when I try to use vi, it hangs while opening the file. Is there s
vax editor that can handle files of this size?

I've been using KEDIT (PC version of Xedit) for years and am satisfied
with it.  Version 4 uses EMS to edit multiple huge files, and is a very
worthwhile upgrade from 3.52.  It also does interwindow copy/move, which
the previous version did not.

As much as I like QEdit (I use it on every machine), I believe the
original poster was asking for a Word Processor, not a text editor.
Most of the existing old word processors for DOS will work just fine
on such a computer.  Try old Word Perfect or Word, they should be just
fine.  I am sure there are many more, but I haven't used them.

The main problem I see with this is that it assumes the files which you
are editing are in the working directory (ie no slashes). Since you're
editing these files, it's safe-ish to assume that you have write
permission in their directories.  Therefore wouldn't %.spl (or similar)

Only by striking ^k n times to delete n lines.  However, the next undelete
(^u) will bring back the entire block of n lines.  This can be used for a
rudimentary cut/paste/copy operation.  Pico is not really designed for
heavy-duty editing or for large files, but it excellent for simple editing
tasks, such as mail composition.

The only documentation I know of is the man page, which you will get if
you built the entire pine package, rather than just ftp'ing the binaries
for pico.

xterms are sick.  You need the following junk in your .Xdefaults to make

Calvin 2.1 - nice and fast, but doesn't have :s (search/replace)

Oak Hill - nice and with good extensions, but $60 (hahaha)

Vile - Very interesting, but still unstable (memory problems,
etc.) but you might like this one. It's basically an emacs that

Elvis 1.6 - this is 99.9% vi, all commands in all modes, plus

Reply-To: kk881595@longs.LANCE.ColoState.Edu

Has anyone out there ported Crisp to a DECstation?  I got everything to
compile,
but the documentation seems to be missing from the archive I got
(from wuarchive.wustl.edu  mirrors2/unix-c/editors) and I can't figure out
how to make the keyboards work properly.

Primarily two environments will be using Crisp.  The first is the
workstation itself
using DEC's screwy keyboard, the second is a PC telnetted in using NCSA Telnet,
so all the <ALT> keys are spoken for.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, even those suggesting that it is a lost
cause and that Crisp is not an appropriate editor for this application. 
The point
of the exercise was to get an editor that was much more "PC like" than vi, and
to have a similar editor on both the PC and Unix platforms.  The Brief-like
environment was especially attractive since Borland is now selling Brief.

For that matter we have TERSE and I like it very much considering its
limitations.
Just making Crisp act like TERSE would be a step in the right direction.

Trying to get EMACS compiled for both platforms might be an appropriate 
solution, but for some reason I have shied away from this.  The people I am
trying to satisfy don't seem to like EMACS much better than vi.

Whenever I find that I'm going to be constructing a long pattern
such as the one you list, I will take advantage of vi's ability to
execute the contents of a named buffer as a macro.  Typing the
AT-symbol ('@') followed by a letter (in command mode, of course)
will do this.  Of course, this does require you to take steps before-
hand to do it and so is not "history command editing".

Simply type the command directly into the file on a line of its
own, delete the line into a named buffer ("add), and then execute
the contents of that buffer (@a).  If there are any problems, simply
undo (u), replace the buffer into the file ("ap), edit, and repeat!

BTW, I've worked with older, buggier versions of vi and I've had
them drop the contents of the buffer I try to use if there are
certain types of errors in the command therein.  So I've gotten in
the habit of yanking the command into two or more buffers before
I try to execute it, just in case.

Of course, you could also save the command in a file of it's own
and execute the file with the :source command.  You shouldn't have
to worry about vi going out and erasing the contents of your command
file :-).

Enjoy!

I use KEDIT on PC's and agree it's a fine editor.  (You can use it to
emulate Xedit, but that would be like making your Sparc emulate an Apple IIc.)
However, it's not available for any other platform but PC's and there's no
intention of changing this.  I called the developer and asked.

Multimate is page-oriented (i.e. it only keeps one page in RAM at a time).
It can be slow, but is otherwise a viable choice.

Subject: Does any VMS editor work on part of screen?

Hiya!

Have you managed to call any VMS editor from within _your_ executable
and kept it from occupying the entire screen? It seems impossible to me,
but I am sure it has been done. Please respond quickly if you have!

Elaboration: When calling, e.g., EDT from your program, it immediately
starts as if you executed it from DCL. I need to get it to work on a
part of the screen, preferably like a pop-up.

Any help appreciated.
