@jguillaumes @aachrisg @javerous @drikanis @ludicity Nope, EDT first, then EVE, later Emacs (yes, on VMS at the time), and Emacs *is* magic.
I think LSE was part of some software development tools package, together with a make-like program, a version control system, and some testing tool IIRC. As I would likely have been the only one to use it, my boss didn't want to shell out the rather significant money for it. (1/3)

@jyrgenn @aachrisg @javerous @drikanis @ludicity yup, first it was called VAXset after DECset. I pestered my bosses until I got a license. Their static code analiser was also incredible for the time.

I haven’t been working with VMS for over 35 years now. But today it is still Emacs, or vi, as the use case suggests it. I switch between both a lot. (2/3)
