2/6/2006: e93 version 1.3r4X finally released. It contains some cleanup and new functions. See the README file for details.
NOTE: the RPMs available here are pretty old. I'm lazy about keeping them up to date, since I normally don't use them. If anyone wants to volunteer to build some new ones, I'll post them. In the mean-time, your best bet is to download the source and compile it on your machine.
1/21/2006: Adam Yellen supplied notes for building e93 under Mac OSX (X11).
See "Links" section.
8/29/2002: Nicholas Adrian Vinen created DevEnv.
You can download it using the link at the left.
DevEnv uses Tcl scripts to make e93 behave as an IDE. It also adds some new syntax maps, and enhances existing ones.
From Nicholas:
There's a README, installation should be pretty straightforward. (make
install). It adds a bunch of stuff.. better 'make' support, gdb
support, better 'find in files (grep)' support, some source control
support etc. It's pretty tweaked to the way I like things but as I'm
sure you realise it's easy to customise e93 functionality.
7/7/2002: Torsten Sander has provided a PPC RPM.
You can download it using the link at the left.
From Torsten:
I've built an RPM package of e93 1.3r3X for PowerPC 32bit linux.
e93 was linked against tcl 8.3.2 and tested on a SuSE 7.3 PPC
distribution running on an IBM RS6k 260.
e93 is a portable window based text editor oriented to the needs of programmers. It was begun in 1993 (thus the name). It uses the mouse, selections, cut/copy/paste, and closely follows the model of editors on the Macintosh and NeXT platforms.
- e93 is portable to environments other than Unix/X Windows -- as long as those environments support virtual memory.
- e93 supports columnar selection. It achieves this by allowing multiple pieces of the text to be selected simultaneously (this is perhaps its most unique feature).
- e93 imposes no limits on the line length, file length, or number of simultaneous files which it can edit.
- e93 is able to handle all 8-bit binary codes without complaint, or confusion.
- e93 is highly configurable without recompiling because scripts which control the editor can be written in Tcl.
- e93 supports user-configurable syntax highlighting.
- e93 is open sourced under the well known GNU General Public License.
