Hi,
        Sorry for this late summary.

My question was:
>> Does anybody knows where to find xedit for Solaris (2.4) SPARC ?
>>I have some mainframe user's destroing files with vi.
>>Let me help them please!

I forgot to mention that my users ware using terminal ( simple telnet,
non GUI ), and programming in Cobol ( Microfocus Cobol ).

Well, the solution was "tbox", a full screen (character oriented) editor
that comes bundled(?) with Microfocus Cobol.

Thanks for responses from:

You might also want to take a look at "nedit" (ftp.fnal.gov in the
/pub/nedit directory). It's a GUI type editor that is very easy to
use, and casual users, such as our "PC users" love it. The only
drawback
is that it requires Motif :( and doesn't support OpenLook).

Rgds,

Take alook at nedit from ftp.fnal.gov:/KITS/pub/nedit

I think it's one of the nicest GUI editors for Unix...

What about getting them to use the standard openwindows textedit
program?
