Hi All.
In 1983, while a grad student at Ga Tech, I did some contract programming
at Southern Bell. The system was a PDP 11/70 running USG Unix 4.0 (yes,
it existed! That's another story.)
Beside ed, the system had a screen editor named 'se' (not related to the
Ga Tech 'se' screen editor). It apparently was written within AT&T.
ISTR that it was written mainly for Vaxen but had been squeezed and made to
run on the PDP 11.
Did anyone else ever use this? Know anything about it? I never saw it
or heard it about it again; it didn't ship with System V.
Thanks,
Arnold
