At that time I asked Rob to remove it from the archive. My impression was that no one was interested in using it, or any console editor for that matter, and therefore didn't have much motivation for maintaining it. If you are anyone is interested in the old code, I'll be glad to email it to you, or post it back to the archive. Actually, Rob offered to keep it in the archives with a notation that v. 3.0 would be required to run it. I told him just to drop it since no one had expressed any interest in it You mentioned that you didn't like ed.ex's menu's. Look at the code. Change what you don't like to something that you do like. Want more menu's? Add'em. Likewise with hot-keys and auto-complete. I never did any real programming in the sense that most of you guys do. I just fiddled with Rob's code. I guess I got really lazy because I don't think it would really take that much to switch from the pre-v.30 ncurses code to the ascii positioning code that ed.ex now uses.
