Abstract: ICE is a general purpose editor. It is similar to EDIT.SV
which is distributed with OS/8, but it contains several advantages
over EDIT.SV. Some features are:

  • High Speed File close (10-50 times faster than EDIT.SV)
  • Retention of both old and new line numbers
  • Wild card search (search/replace)
  • Block save and restore: Space warning.

    ICE.SV is on the disk but PAGE8.SV (the assembler required to
    assemble the sources) is not. PAGE8.SV is available with other
    DECUS programs such as VISTA EDITOR or Acid Document Gener-
    ator and should soon be available in source form.

    Complete sources not included.
