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.

An editor for revision control
TL;DR: An editor is described that represents files using a generalization of AVL trees called “AVL dags,” which makes it affordable to automatically retain past versions of files.
Equal opportunity interactive systems

- 07 Jun 1988
TL;DR: An editing system for use in a virtual machine environment in which two virtual machines having corresponding virtual storage areas are operatively related to one another is presented in this article, which allows a first virtual machine to print, display, modify and otherwise control and process information stored in a second virtual machine storage area.
