Only one known to me git://github.com/screen-editor/se.git=20 https://github.com/screen-editor/se Von: Lawrence Stewart Datum: 29.03.2022 02:31:14 An: TUHS@tuhs.org Betreff: [TUHS] Old screen editors At the Stanford Information Systems Lab while I was there 1976-81, we had a series of PDP-11s. The first one I remember was an 11/34 running V6 and later V7. It was later upgraded to, I think a /45 and finally a /70. At first everyone used ed, then Prof. John Gill hacked it to add a command, I think =E2=80=98%=E2=80=99 that was the equivalent of .-10,.+10p which on = our 9600 baud Hazeltine=E2=80=99s was a glimpse of the future. At some point we got ex/vi, but before that we got the =E2=80=9CRand Editor= =E2=80=9D re, which was a perfectly functional screen editor, if you squinted a bit. Does anyone here know the place of re in the history? Later, Gill went off for a sabbatical at Yorktown Heights and came back to complain about having to use SOS on the mainframe. He reported, however, that global search and replace was very fast. -L Also a few years later I got Dave Conroy=E2=80=99s version of microemacs. = I complained about the key bindings and he told me to use the =E2=80=9Cchange configurat= ion=E2=80=9D command, or cc.
