- The EDT emulation that comes with EMACS is incomplete. There are much
- better EDT emulators for EMACS in the EMACS lisp archives (mentioned
- below). Here's the blurb on the one I wrote.
-
-
- ** Introducing TPU-edt -- emacs emulating TPU emulating EDT **
-
- TPU-edt features the following TPU/edt functionality:
-
- . EDT keypad
- . Repeat counts
- . Learn sequences
- . Multiple windows and buffers
- . On-line help
- . TPU line-mode REPLACE command
- . Rectangular cut and paste
- . Wild card search and substitution
- . Configurable through an initialization file
-
- TPU-edt works on any VT-series compatible terminal or emulator, is
- easy to install and use, and even comes with an UNDO function not
- available in TPU. Try TPU-edt today. We think you'll agree that
- it does a lot better TPU/edt emulation than vi does!
-
- Please note that TPU-edt does NOT emulate TPU. It emulates TPU's
- EDT emulation. Very few TPU line-mode commands are supported.
-
- TPU-edt is available from the elisp archives. They are are
- accessible via anonymous ftp from
-
- archive.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive
-
- TPU-edt is in the modes subdirectory with the name tpu-edt.tar.Z.
