Unix editor like Borland IDE?
Edward C. Jones
machine running as a VT100 emulation. The provider has Sun machines
running SunOs 4.1.3. I need a editor that runs under SunOs which will
look, on my 286, like the Borland IDE. I particularly want menus,
multi-file editing, and multiple adjustable windows. A customized
version of EMACS would be fine.
Thanx

If you just want the editor then try joe. It looks like wordstar with some
extras. The Borland editor uses Wordstar keys.
If you want something more customisable try starting from wordstar.el for
emacs and modifying it.
(I can send a copy of wordstar.el if you can't find it locally )

wpe/xwpe is pretty much a Borland IDE emulator -- it'll even integrate with
make and the debugger, if you're into the IDE-based style of programming. It
can be made to appear in one of four guises:
we: tty-based text editor
xwe: X-windows text editor
wpe: tty-based IDE (i.e. has features to link to debugger, make, etc.)
xwpe: X-windows based IDE.
I have it installed under SunOS 4.1.3 and Linux. Some of the more obscure
function-key combinations seem a bit difficult to enter when running
the tty-based version on SunOS, however.
Search for xwpe with Archie or whatever...

Try (x)wpe. It can produce both a VT100 and an X11 interface. The
X11 interface is a 99% clone of the original, including colors and
TurboVision-like windows. The VT100 version (wpe; they can both
share the same binary) comes as close as is possible with VT100.
I wonder if it's got PC colors in ANSI mode, I'm not sure.
You can get it from ftp.cs.bonn.edu in /pub/unix/editors.
-Markus.
