Personally I use "joe" as my editor. TSE is the latest version of the DOS editor, QEdit. Most funtional editor I have ever seen on any platform,....be glad to freq you the shareware version QEdit4.0 if you like. It was renamed TSE with the latest release, it stands for The SemWare Editor Pro. > JG> file manager system for unix (like Xtree Gold or the like,.....) > "Midnight Commander" is apparently a Norton-like file manager. If it is like Norton, it will not do. Xtree Gold is far more comprehensive that Norton's. Problem is Xtree was bought out by someone, and futher development seems to be at a loss. .....Johnny --- DB 1.58/005148 * Origin: * Texas MotorSports BBS * ND1-id.001 * (1:130/621) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 176 UNIX Ref: DGJ00000 Date: 12/14/96 From: DAVID MAGGIN Time: 03:07am \/To: PIETER DE JONG (Read 4 times) Subj: I lost my memory (or did @SUBJECT:I lost my memory (or did I?)

The problem began only a week or so ago, so I wouldn't think that stale copies of top or ps would be at fault. However, just to be safe, I'll see if I can locate updated versions of both, and see if it helps. Thanks again.

TSE is what the old QEdit for DOS is now called. joe makes a fairly good comparison editor, as they both use WordStar-like keyboard commands. In fact, I plan on seeing if I can port joe to Win32, if I can find the source code. JG>> file manager system for unix (like Xtree Gold or the like,.....)

Actually Linux is derived from the last name of the person who wrote the Linux kernel -- Linus Torvalds "(then a student at the University of Finland at Helsinki), who wanted his own alternative to another UNIX alternative -- namely, the Minix operating system.
