Text editor based on interface from Intel ISIS-II aedit, which in turn was based on its big brother alter.

This was originally written in the mid 80s on QNX running on an 8088, with a CBM-64 acting as the console.

I have used this on every UNIX system I have touched. A couple of things have not been implemented, (a) other - a feature to hold two files in memory (b) error on saving detected, the original ISIS-II would reboot if you attempted to write to a read-only disk, so this part just never happened in the C version - sin of omission.

It has even run on UNIX Release 7 on a PDP-II emulator.

Features

  • Written in ANSI C
  • Highly portable
  • No curses or other libraries required
  • Single source file
  • Block highlighting

User Reviews

  • Thank you so much for this. I first used this editor at the Intel HQ in Swindon, UK. I carried it forward for decades and at one point, it was the only tool I had with a macro recorder powerful enough to perform some of the data conversions I was doing between client data formats. The bundle contains the X64 version I needed to run on Windoze 11 and I'll definitely be downloading it for my Debian 11 VM.
