JED, TOOLS, Editor that contains EDT/Emacs/Wordstar key mappings. This area contains JED V97-12, an EDT like editor for VMS, Unix, MSdos, etc. from John E. Davis, and also SLANG, the symbolic script language for it, plus MOST, a handy text viewer, SLRN, a news reader, and SLSC, a spreadsheet calculator. These files were last updated Nov. 7, 1995 from his net area at space.mit.edu. JED is an editor that contains EDT, Emacs, and Wordstar key mappings. It runs on OpenVMS, UNIX, and PC systems. It's very useful for learning Emacs if you are a traditional OpenVMS programmer. Some other features are; - Language sensitive editing. There's a C mode, text mode, DCL mode, and others. - ANSI color support. Parts of a C source file can be programmed to be displayed in different colors (i.e., comments one color, reserved words another, etc.). Jed is shipped in a .ZIP file. To unzip on an OpenVMS system, use the Info-Zip unzip program that's located elsewhere on the OpenVMS FREEWARE CD, and provide the following parameters (on UNIX and PC, the "-V" isn't necessary); $ unzip "-V" jed097b8.zip This will create two directories under the one that you execute the unzip command from; [.JED] and [.SLANG]. OpenVMS binaries are shipped in the [.JED.BIN] directory. JED.EXE is the VAX executable, and JED_ALPHA.EXE is the AXP executable. To install, read the file [.JED]INSTALL.VMS. This provides all the information that you need. Jed comes from John Davis (davis@amy.tch.harvard.edu). Read the documentation in the [.JED.DOC] directory for more information. HINT: copy [.JED.LIB]JED.RC to your SYS$LOGIN directory and edit your changes there (turn color on, etc.). Color works best on a terminal with a black background and a light foreground.
