I am currently involved in looking at possible editors for a Un*x service
in a research and teaching environment. The primary requirements are:
o Full screen
o Must work on a wide variety of platforms
o Very useful if a version works on PC/MS-DOS
o Must work with industry standard terminals/emulations
o Must be easy to learn, especially for those with no computer background
o site licence arrangements reasonable
I would like to hear from those sites who may have moved to Un*x from
something fundamentally different, especially academic sites. Other
objective views would be appreciated as well. In addition, I would like
to hear from anyone who has done a comparative study of un*x editors.
I would be interested to hear views on what core functions an editor
should offer. What does the person want who primarily goes though the
compile-->load-->execute-->edit cycle, for example?
Please can you let me know by mail. I will summarise (eventually).
(I'm aware that this follows on from previous posting but our
requirements are not the same).
Thanks very much.
