VIDED - A DISPLAY-ORIENTED TEXT EDITOR
Om du har lagt till och tagit bort mycket i en text, s} har kanske
en del sidor blivit f`r l}nga och en del sidor f`r korta. VIDED g`r
ingen helautomatisk anpassning av sidornas storlek, men har
kommandon f`r halvautomatisk sidanpassning.
&PS s`ker efter en sida som {r f`r l}ng eller f`r kort
&PI delar en sida i tv} sidor vid mark`rens position
&PA sl}r ihop aktuell sida med n{sta sida
&P godk{nner en sida trots att den var f`r l}ng eller f`r kort
Pr`va dessa kommandon p} texten nedan. B`rja med &PS f`r att hitta
f`rsta st{llet d{r en sida {r f`r kort eller f`r l}ng i texten.

! ABSTRACT !
! !
! VIDED is a display oriented text editor. VIDED can be !
! used on many different models of display terminals, but !
! not on typewriter terminals. !
! !
! The main principle of VIDED is that the screen on the !
! display will always show the modified text immediately !
! after each edit operation. The full screen is used to !
! show a segment of the edited text. The user will thus get !
! an immediate feedback of the result of her/his operation !
! and can correct the text again if necessary. !
! !
! VIDED replaces both an ordinary text editor and a !
! paragraph and page formatter like RUNOFF in one editor. !
! You need not postprocess your text with RUNOFF. !
! !
---------------------------------------------------------------
VIDED version 2A has been tested on some INFOTON, TEC, ELITE,
TANDBERG, BEEHIVE and CDC terminals, but will probably also
work on DEC VT52 and can often easily be modified for other
kinds of display terminals.
VIDED can only be adjusted to those display terminals where the
terminal can send to the computer and receive from the computer
control codes to move the cursor up, down, left, right, to the
home position and to erase the screen.
Special features of VIDED:
> Justification command to get even paragraphs after adding or
deleting text giving uneven lines.
Example:
Text before editing: John and Mary went down
to the station to buy a
ticket.
>>>> Som du ser av p}minnelseraden ovan {r denna sida f`r l}ng. Du b`r
>>>> allts} anv{nda &PI-kommandot f`r dela sidan i tv} sidor. Men flytta
>>>> f`rst cursorn till f`re ordet "Example:" ty den texten b`r v{l

>>>> N{r f`rsta sidan {r uppdelad p} tv} sidor {r det bara att anv{nda
>>>> &PS igen f`r att hitta n{sta sida som beh`ver delas upp.
Text after addition: John and Mary took the tram down
to the station to buy a
ticket.
Text after justification: John and Mary took the
tram down to the station
to buy a ticket.
> Automatic date on the first page (see top of this page) and
headers and subheaders on succeeding pages with correct page
numbers in the header. This facility is optional.

VIDED FOR TEXT PRODUCTION, COMPARISON WITH RUNOFF:
COST: Since VIDED version 2A is mostly written in a high level
language (SIMULA) VIDED is more expensive than SOS or TECO.
VIDED is however not more expensive than the combination of SOS
or TECO with RUNOFF postprocessing.
ADVANTAGES: Immediate feedback of edit results, seconds after
each edit step, gives better control of the result than the
postprocessing with RUNOFF. The half-automatic nature of VIDED
also gives better control than the fully automated RUNOFF
postprocessing.
DISADVANTAGES: The half-automatic nature makes certain
operations slightly more difficult, but efficient commands are
available to simplify such operations. Example: "PA" command to
append pages, "PI" command to split pages, "PS" command to find
pages which have too many lines, automatic warning to the user
when writing too many lines per page.
VIDED has no built-in indexing facility, but a separate
indexing program will be made available instead.
VIDED FOR THE EDITING OF PROGRAM FILES, COMPARISON WITH SOS AND TECO
ADVANTAGES: The fuller control makes it easier to produce
readable structured programs with well disposed comments. The
full display of the edited program makes it easier to spot and
correct programming errors.
DISADVANTAGES: More expensive to run, no program execution
facilities of the kind available in TECO.

AVAILABILITY:
VIDED version 2A has been submitted to the DECUS library as a
separate entry. VIDED will also be available on the DECUS
SIMULA distribution tape with SIMULA release 4. You can also
order VIDED from my institute for a price of 200 dollars.
The VIDED distribution tape contains source program, EXE
files and a 37-page user manual. The source programs can
only be compiled with DECsystem-10/20 SIMULA release 4 or
higher. VIDED has only been tested on a DECsystem-10.
