| Abstract: |
Text is not the only data that needs editing; for example, file deletion utilities edit directories. If all "editors" used the same command language, they would be easier to learn, remember, and code. This paper describes a generalized editor that edits text, directories, binary core images, and certain operating system data with a single user interface. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
