TVEDIT

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.
