I did a search for Vedit in Wikipedia. The only hit was on the page "List of text editors",
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_text_editors

Only the name was mentioned there, no other info.

There was no article about Vedit. There has been one earlier, but it was deleted last May.
So I wrote one myself,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VEDIT

In addition, I added reference to Vedit on the following pages:

"Comparison of text editors"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_text_editors

"Ctags" (Editors that support ctags)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ctags

"List of portable software"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_portable_software#Editors


Feel free to add any missing information or correct any errors on those pages.

I think we could use some more references in the article. Wikipedia generally requires that there are lots of references in dictionary articles. For example, magazine articles such as reviews, benchmarks etc. could be used (even if they were old). So if Ted or anybody has saved any old Byte's or other magazines that contain something about Vedit, I could add those as references.

Another thing that came into my mind while writing the Wikipedia articles: I recall Unix and QNX versions of Vedit had vi emulation. Why is that not included with Windows version? Would it be possible to add it in the delivery?

I was just this week at a 3-day Embedded Linux programming course, and I noticed that vi-based editors are still the most commonly used in Unix/Linux world.
