>Hi again,
        Special thanks to Jim Bash for tell me about THE, it is exactly what i
was looking for.
I just installed it, and my users seems very happy ( more than with
"tbox" ).

Wilter.

Original response from Jim:
>
>Sounds like you've solved your problem, but thought I'd mention THE (The
>Hessling Editor), a freeware editor that emulates both Xedit and Kedit (It
>has switches to pick native THE, Xedit or Kedit mmode). We installed it
>here to keep old CMS Xedit folks happy, then the campus computing center
>put it up when they started the move from mainframe VM/CMS to unix.
>Everyone seems happy and the price is right for us academics. More info
>at:
> http://www.lightlink.com/hessling/#THE
>
>But it is nice to know there are other options. Thanks for your 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.

>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
