I believe Vedit has officially released this from copyrite
restrictions. It was, IMO, the best GP editor available for CP/M.

Hi Al,

thanks for putting the docs snd the disk image on
your website ([url]http://bitsavers.org[/url]). By inspecting
the contents of the image I missed one essential file:
VEDSET.COM. This programm is needed to construct the
customized VEDIT.COM file (at least for the memory
mapped versions)! Is this correct? Also no 8086 programms
(VEDITPC.SET, VEDITCPI.SET, etc.) seem to be on the disk.
At least they are mentioned in the docs.

Thanks for your help,

Uwe.

I don't know much about VEDIT, but I took the .IMD file apart on my
Linux box, and reconstructed all the files from it. Then I downloaded
the ones I needed to my home-made 10 MHz Z80. They seem to work very
well. Very fast! The program vdsetcrt.com is used with either of the
two .SET files (vedit8c.set or veditzc.set) to create a vedit
executable. I'm not sure what the difference is between the two, but
it may be memory mapped vs. terminal video? The only other file that
is *really* needed is crt.tbl, which I gather is the terminal
descriptor file for all the various terminals. The remaining files
are just small snippets for help, or notes about operation. I did
*NOT* find anything for the 8086.

I might regret this, but I can e-mail a zipped collection of the
contents of the .IMD file to those who would rather not go through the
diskette re-creation exercise, OR the convoluted extraction (from
the .IMD) process.

Hi Roger,

thanks for your response. I had already extracted all files from
the disk image. More files are mentioned in the manual. May be there
are other distribution disks.

Thanks again,

Uwe.
