I've recently discovered the CRiSP editor from one of my clients and was very impressed by its versatility. Does anyone know of an open source implementation? I've only found commercial versions by googling. As for what features crisp has that I haven't seen in other editors is the facility with which it handles multiple windows, ability to edit files on multiple hosts in the same session and integration with the shell. For a full list of features please check the crisp editor link on the main page.

There isnt an open source equivalent of CRiSP. CRiSP was originally based on an MSDOS editor called BRIEF, but over the years, it has incorporated many of the desirable features of other editors (Visual Studio, Eclipse, Emacs). It aims to be efficient and proficient for editing a wide variety of files.

Emacs did have a crisp-mode macro added to it, but its somewhat crude.

If anyone is interested in a free copy of CRiSP, I would be happy to give out some free licenses in response for feedback.

(Apologies if this sounds like an advert, but I would rather people use and contribute to the product, rather than ignore it simply because it is a commercial one).

In particular you are probably interested in

• tramp mode
• shell mode
• the shell-command command (typically bound to M-!), and related tools. Use C-h f shell-command to get help.
