Very old man pages -- it's had that wording since Unix V1: http://squoze.net/UNIX/v1man/man1/ed Because the early Unix manuals are often influenced by CTSS and Multics, I was curious as to whether similar wording showed up anywhere else. The 1973 Multics Programmer's Manual (revision 14) says: The two standard editors are named edm and qedx. And by 1981, editing.gi.info says about qedx: This is the standard Multics editor. -- Adam Sampson <ats@offog.org> <http://offog.org/>
