I'm still waiting on EDLIN. ;-)
Oh indeed!!!
It would be interesting to compare code and functionality to ed...
Has anyone else noticed that there is now a book on mastering ed, by Michael Lucas? I sorta want a copy of that ;-)
I've only come across one editor that was worse than EDLIN. It was the line editor on Pr1me computers. We had a few of those systems at work. As I recall, you could only jump to the top or bottom of the file or use relative jumps. You couldn't jump directly to a specific line. =-O
