EDT has always been part of the standard VMS build. We need an editor early on in 9.0 so we started poking at it to see if it worked. We will get back to it soon.

With a couple easy source code workarounds for the compiler problems, DIFF works.

CG$ diff cg.com cg5.com
************
File DMM0:[SYSEXE]CG.COM;18
   23   $ type cg.com
   24   $ write sys$output "Testing COPY"
   25   $ copy/log cg1.com cg2.com
   26   $ dir
   27   $ write sys$output "Testing DELETE"
   28   $ delete/log cg2.com.*
   29   $ dir
******
File DMM0:[SYSEXE]CG5.COM;3
   23   $ type cg5.com
   24   $ write sys$output "Testing COPY"
   25   $ copy/log cg1.com cg3.com
   26   $ dir
   27   $ write sys$output "Testing DELETE"
   28   $ delete/log cg3.com.*
   29   $ dir
