   I have finished development of an editor for VMS systems with some special
features you don't find with a lot of other VMS editors.

The editor is called Cedit.  The C means column editing.  With this editor
you can delete, insert, copy, move, replace, etc columns of text.  Of course
it has line editing functions and a built in simplistic screen editor.
   Cedit supports auto-scrolling both horizontally and vertically with column
markers, pop up line markers.  Even the on screen editor auto-scrolls column
left and right, and you can toggle insert or overstrike mode on and off while
using the screen editor.  You can Cedit files with lines up to 10,000
characters wide, invoke an another editor of your choice, spawn out to a
DCL sub-process, change tabs to blanks and a few other goodies.
   Cedit also has a VMS library style on line help file with over 500
lines of information about the program.  Options in Cedit are selected by
pressing the letter that corresponds to the function, so it's easy to use.

   Best of all it's free!  You can anonymous FTP the files for Cedit from
ZEUS.UNOMAHA.EDU (137.48.1.1)   The files you need to get are:
   CEDIT.OBJ   TT_LIBRARY.OLB   CEDIT_HELP.TXT   CEDIT_INST.COM
The first two files are the object file and the link I/O library file, so
use a binary get on them.  The cedit_help.txt is the text file for the
on line help library file and the last is a DCL com file to do the linking,
and installation of the library file, so ascii get the .txt and .com files.
   Cedit does not need to be installed with any privs to work, however you
will need bypass priv to install the library file to be placed in
SYS$LIBRARY: directory where Cedit can find it.  The cedit.obj is over 500
blocks but links down to about 180 blocks for the executable.

   You can send questions, comments, problems to my account:
Internet: NETWORK@UNOMAHA.EDU    or     Bitnet: NETWORK@UNOMA1
I can make the PL/I source code available to those interested and all of
the files including object and source code are on their way to Decus.
