E (1970s text editor)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the 1970s text editor. For the PC DOS text editor with the same name, see E (PC DOS).

E is a text editor originally developed at the Stanford AI Lab in the 1970s for the TENEX and TOPS-20 operating systems.

E was one of the first WYSIWYG editors. Richard Stallman visited the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab in 1976[citation needed] and was quite impressed by this technology. He implemented a similar hack to the TECO text editor once he returned to MIT in adding a combined display+editing mode called "Control-R".[1]
