Some free version information.  ["<18.55 dist>" means it already is an
official part of GNU Emacs.

[Paths above are approximate.]

Looks like it's time to post this again.  For those of you who
are looking for EDT under ultrix, you could try any of the following:

1.  Using the the GNU Emacs EDT emulator. . . .I don't really consider
this acceptable.  This provides you with the key bindings but doesn't
really have the look and feel.  One of the nicest things about EDT is
that it really controls a vtxxx terminal competently, and makes use
of highlighting, keypad, etc. to aid casual users.  This
implementation is designed for the "expert" edt user who has no need
for such niceties and primarily wants the key bindings for his keypad.

2.  Buy a commercial product.  Probably the most widely used such is
EDT+ from:

Boston Business Computing
3 Dundee Park,
Andover, MA 01810
(508) 470-0444, FAX (508) 474-8244.

I used their product a little bit on a Multiflow, but not enough to
REALLY tell how good it is. . . . I don't know how to use EDT.
Their product will probably cost somewhere $500 and $1000. But it
really looks like EDT to me. . .

3.   We've started using Anker Berg-Sonne's SEDT.  I am enclosing a copy of his
product description.   It's become the editor of choice in our group
among those who don't already know vi or emacs, because it's very easy
to use.  I don't know why, but it is not widely used/known
about in the unix world for some reason. . . .

4. Wait for DEC to announce it's port of TPU to Ultrix? Is EDT written
in TPU?  I don't really know about VMS editors, but I heard they intend
to make this a product.

Good luck. . . .

        Site licenses.   For  a  given number of employees, using
any systems at the site,  does not cover non site relevant use of
Sedt by employees.  Site license  includes  free  distribution of
one kit.  Site licenses only apply to one  geographical site of a
company or non-profit institution.  Fee is dependent on number of
employees using Sedt:

        Number of employees     Fee

        1-5                     $25 per employee
        6-10                    $125
        11-50                   $200
        50-200                  $500
        201-1000                $1000

        Educational  licenses.    There  is  no license  fee  for
instructional, class-room use.  Site license fees apply  to other
uses by educational institutions.

        For orders placed outside the U.S.   I appreciate payment
in U.S.  funds payable by a  U.S.  bank.  Checks not payable to a
U.S.  bank involve hefty charges.

        I continuously  fix  problems  that I am aware of and add
new features.   At any time an order comes in, I ship the current
the version I am  working on.  If, for some reason, you find that
the software I shipped you  has  a  serious problem, I'll be more
than happy to fix the problem,  if I haven't done so already, and
ship you  a  replacement.    Also, if you intend to put Sedt on a
bulletin board, please do so only after testing it thoroughly, or
get in contact with me.

        Sedt is what it  is  because  of  a  continuing,  intense
dialog with the user base.    If  you  have  any  suggestions for
improvement, I am anxious to hear about  it.    Please  mail your
thoughts to me at my home address.   8  Middlemost  Way, Stow, MA
01775.  I would appreciate your cooperation in limiting telephone
queries to an absolute minimum.

        For installation instructions  read  INSTALL.HOW  on  the
installation  disk  and  for    complete    documentation    read
SEDTMAN.EDT.

        Please  avoid  contacting    me    at  Digital  Equipment
Corporation unless the issue  you  want  to discuss is related to
business with Digital.  You  can  reach  me  my  electronic  mail
through Compuserve as "72337,3211".  You can  reach  this account
from Internet as "72337,3211%compuserve.com@CS.RELAY.NET".

I hope you will enjoy the product.
