My RetroChallenge 2012 entry

Would anyone be interested in a variant of KED which manages lines different from 24 and columns different from 80 / 132? It probably will not be ready before the end of July. For those of you who are not familiar, KED runs under RT-11 and RSTS/E and is a screen editor. I thought it would be great to have a variant of KED which handles the DEC standard widths of 80 /132 columns, but with up to 48 lines which are available on a VT420. Actually, I guess there was a bit of cheating since up to 60 lines are supported - which is what Ersatz-11 supports. I realized only recently that "terminals" which run with widths that are NOT 80 /132 characters might even be available for testing. This is a plug for Ersatz-11 which already supports terminals of any width up to 255 columns and vertical lines counts up to 60 lines. Because I have been so DECified, column widths other than 80 / 132 seemed - well almost beyond thinking about. Now that I have run a few tests with Ersatz-11, this is a challenge worth some effort.
