    From bill@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 16 10:34:59 2023
    Many moons ago when I was the maintainer for a bunch of 850's
    we had a lot of cool software. Wondering if any of this has
    survived.

    Anyone remember an editor called Edv?
    How about the RIM Database?

    Anybody still have the source for either of these?

    There was much more but a lot of it was proprietary so I know it
    can't still be available. Like all the stuff from U Sheffield.
    They had an editor and a couple of compilers.

    I guess the big question would be has the source for any of the
    third party stuff for Primes survived?

    A few versions of the Sheffield editor and Pascal compiler exist in
    source form. Two versions of the editor in binary form exist and
    work. Building the editor would require a binary copy of their
    Pascal compiler. Building their compiler from source would be a bit
    of a project, since iirc it's self hosted. (The Prime compiler is
    available.)
