Hi all,

So. On a lighter note. I was tooling around the web and came across a discussion of QED, the editor. It’s been resurrected in no small part based on discussions on this list (and members like Rob Pike). Anyhow, there’s a version that compiles in modern systems and that handles wide characters.

Here's the link to the article that kicked off this line of inquiry:

https://leahneukirchen.org/blog/archive/2021/01/remembering-the-work-of-david-m-tilbrook-and-the-qed-editor.html

Does anyone know of any effort to show the family tree of editors, similar to what we have for unix and linux?

Will
Ah, heck - Dennis says QED influenced ed, but the first line of the description in QED (1) (Mar/82) is:

Qed is a multiple-file programmable text editor based on ed.

Which is it?
