Hi, Perry….sorry to be late in responding. Question is this. I have been using CED Pro2 for several months now and generally very pleased with it. However, I cannot launch the main program from cold using Ed. Only way I have found is to include ced -r in my Startup-Sequence and then it works fine. But the manual, on page 11, states that "…there are no cases where you could not invoke CED by double-clicking on ED." So what am I doing wrong? Regards, Michael.

Where are you placing CED? pk

CED is in my C: directory.

Well, that should work….if you do use CED -r in your startup, it will work without fail. I think “ed'' is guilty of changing and perhaps a subsequent version stopped being as general. pk

Well…it does work, but if the manual is not going to be changed, there are going to be a lot more puzzled users: and puzzled users end up being disgruntled customers. Don't you think you had better have a word with someone in the maual writing department? MJBS

Fine. I realise manuals can never be wholly accurate 🙂 MJBS

I've just got the most recent version (2.12) of CED, & found that, as you say, ED has changed: it appears to be identical functionally to the old (ie version 1 ED), although it is not absolutely identical (a few bytes different in size). I found this a major bugbear, since it doesn't support the -sticky option – which I NEED. Currently I'm using the version 2.0 ED along with the 2.12 CED, & all seems to be well (OK ASDG, now tell me what horrible consequences this could have ??). Graham

I don't think you'll run into any troubles using an old ED with a new CED. pk
