SEDIT is a programmer’s editor for Windows and Linux, patterned after IBM’s mainframe XEDIT and ISPF/PDF editors. It uses the native Windows interface on Windows and Motif on Linux, so programmers who know XEDIT or ISPF/PDF feel at home at once. Earlier releases for other UNIX systems remain on the Downloads page.
