Text editor

Is there a text editor that could be used in Tru64 on an alphaserver 8200?

Hi,

there is of course the good old vi.
It also depends on, whether graphic or not.

Check out the graphic interface with Vim. (http://www.vim.org) It has quite a few enhancements over basic Vi, not the least of which is the language sensitive syntax coloring for just about any language imaginable.
Including DCL.

Pre-built ports for OpenVMS at http://www.polarhome.com/vim/.

Oops! Lost track of which forum I was reading.
For Unix systems, you can get the Vim sources at http://www.vim.org/download.php and simply build it.

There's also ed and ex if line editing is sufficient. emacs has an X11 version/interface called "xemacs" if you don't want to learn emacs' keystrokes.

Re: Text editor

it is worth to play around with vi, because it is the "standard" editor on every unix machine and it very very simple...
