(This is a switch setting.) I also was wondering, anyone ever think of implementing ITS TECO under UNIX or VMS?---------------- Date: 31 May 1982 00:57-EDT From: Gail Zacharias Subject: wrap-at-end-of-line, truncate-chars-past-right-margin To: Lecin at RUTGERS cc: EDITOR-PEOPLE at SU-SCORE The C Emacs most emphatically does not support both modes of operation. It can truncate lines, but it doesn't have horizontal scrolling and the semantics of moving the point past the end of a screen line are not well defined. That's not support, it's a crock. ---------------- Date: 31 May 1982 01:11-EDT (Monday) From: Mijjil (Matthew J. Lecin) To: Emacs-Hackers at MIT-AI, Editor-People at SU-SCORE Subject: Z editor Reply-To: Lecin at RUTGERS Yes, I agree that the mentioned C Emacs *IS* a crock. The point was brought up to POINT OUT that it was a crock - and that Gosling (you listening out there James?) might CONSIDER that sort of horizontal scrolling as a part of TRUNCATION. I don't know any terminal besides this "SUN" terminal that can HARDWARILY handle HORIZONTAL scrolling. I have seen it done on the OSBORNE-1 micro though...
