TVEDIT
From Computer History Wiki
TVEDIT was the first in a family of full-screen text editor. It was written by Brian Tolliver for the Odin time-sharing on the Stanford PDP-1.
Offspring, all running on the PDP-10, include:
- TVEdit for the IMSSS TENEX system, displaying on Imlac PDS-1 computers. Written by John Prebus.
- TV-Edit at IMSSS and SUMEX-AIM, displaying on TEC 400 and Datamedia 2500 video terminals, by Pentti Kanerva.
- TV for SAIL III and Data Disc displays, by Dan Swinehart.
- E for Data Disc displays, by Fred Wright, Brian Harvey, Arthur Samuel, Martin Frost, et al.
The full-screen editing features of E was an influence on Richard Stallman and the EMACS editor.
Douglas Hofstadter wrote his book Gödel, Escher, Bach using TVEdit on the IMSSS Imlacs in Ventura Hall.
