- We've been using the nu/TPU product from a/Soft now for about 9 months on a Sun
- clone (Solbourne). It provides a good emulation of the VMS EDT interface
- layered on the EVE interface to TPU, but it is not EDT. However, I think TPU
- is a far superior editor to EDT and it looks enough like EDT when you do "set
- keypad edt" that there is little reason to stick with EDT. If your users will
- be working from vt100/vt200/vt300 terminals, then I think they will be pretty
- happy. However, any emulation of EDT is likely to be almost worthless if you
- are working from non-DEC terminals, X-terminals, or workstations that don't
- have DEC keyboards. It's almost impossible to remember the keyboard mapping
- when using a non-DEC keyboard.
-
- Good luck.
