Personal Editor
Personal Editor (PE) and Personal Editor II (PE2) was a text editor developed by IBM for IBM PC DOS and MS-DOS in the 1980s. It became popular because of its easy, fast, and programmable (custom keyboard shortcuts) user interface. PE influenced its successor text editors, such as Personal Editor 32, a modern 32-bit editor with a user interface based on PE2, and QE, a text editor for Linux systems.Personal Editor 3(PE3) is an open source implementation for 64 bit Linux and Windows 10+ running Intel compatible processors, implemented using thSNOBOL5programming language. For Asia-Pacific region, IBM Japan released a DBCS version of Personal Editor for IBM 5550 and PS/55. It was available in IBM's lineup over the years, although the E editor came with PC DOS since version 6.1. See also * E (PC DOS) E is the text editor which was made part of PC DOS with version 6.1 in June 1993, in February 1995 with version 7 and later with PC DOS 2000. In version 6.1, IBM dropped QBASIC, whi ...

IBM Software
International Business Machines Corporation (using the trademark IBM), nicknamed Big Blue, is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Armonk, New York, and present in over 175 countries. It is a publicly traded company and one of the 30 companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. IBM is the largest industrial research organization in the world, with 19 research facilities across a dozen countries; for 29 consecutive years, from 1993 to 2021, it held the record for most annual U.S. patents generated by a business. IBM was founded in 1911 as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR), a holding company of manufacturers of record-keeping and measuring systems. It was renamed "International Business Machines" in 1924 and soon became the leading manufacturer of punch-card tabulating systems. During the 1960s and 1970s, the IBM mainframe, exemplified by the System/360 and its successors, was the world's dominant computing platform, with the compan ...

DOS Text Editors
DOS (, ) is a family of disk-based operating systems for IBM PC compatible computers. The DOS family primarily consists of IBM PC DOS and a rebranded version, Microsoft's MS-DOS, both of which were introduced in 1981. Later compatible systems from other manufacturers include DR-DOS (1988), ROM-DOS (1989), PTS-DOS (1993), and FreeDOS (1994). MS-DOS dominated the IBM PC compatible market between 1981 and 1995. Although the name has come to be identified specifically with MS-DOS and compatible operating systems, ''DOS'' is a platform-independent acronym for ''disk operating system'', whose use predates the IBM PC. Dozens of other operating systems also use the acronym, beginning with the mainframe DOS/360 from 1966. Others include Apple DOS, Apple ProDOS, Atari DOS, Commodore DOS, TRSDOS, and AmigaDOS. History Origins IBM PC DOS (and the separately sold MS-DOS) and its predecessor, 86-DOS, ran on Intel 8086 16-bit processors. It was developed to be similar to Digi ...

E (PC DOS)
E is the text editor which was made part of PC DOS with version 6.1 in June 1993, in February 1995 with version 7 and later with PC DOS 2000. In version 6.1, IBM dropped QBASIC, which, in its edit mode, was also the system text editor. It was necessary to provide some sort of editor, so IBM chose to adapt and substantially extend its OS/2 System Editor (1986), a minimally functional member of the E family of Editors. The DOS version is extended with a wide array of functions that are usually associated with more functional versions of the E editor family (see below). In version 7, IBM added the REXX language to DOS, restoring programmability to the basic box. IBM also provided E with OS/2. Features The features include (for PC DOS 7): *online help *edit large text files *draw boxes around text *mouse and menu support *record and play keystroke macros *change case within a marked area *access multiple files in multiple panes *syntax-directed editing of C and REXX *add and mult ...

IBM Personal System/55
The or PS/55 is a personal computer series released from IBM Japan in 1987. The PS/55 is the successor to IBM 5550 (Multistation 5550), but its architecture is based upon IBM Personal System/2, IBM PS/2. The first line-up of the series consisted of rebranded 5550 models except the Model 5570-S which was based on the IBM PS/2 Model 80, PS/2 Model 80 (IBM 8580). Unlike the PS/2, most PS/55-based models have a 32-bit (Intel 80386, 80386 or Intel 80486, 80486) CPU and Micro Channel (MCA) bus for the high-end business computing market. IBM Japan was hesitating to sell personal computers for consumers because the IBM JX failed. The AT bus model was released for home users in 1991. Features Display Adapter The MCA video card called ''Display Adapter'' has a Japanese font containing nearly 7,000 glyph, glyphs stored in its Read-only memory, ROM, which enables PS/2-based computers to display Japanese writing system, Japanese text without loading the font into memory. Similar to t ...

IBM 5550
IBM 5550 is a personal computer series that IBM marketed in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China in the 1980s and 1990s, for business use customers. In Japan, it was introduced in 1983 and promoted as "" because it had three roles in one machine: a Personal computer, PC, a word processing machine which was traditionally marketed as a machine different from a PC in Japan, and an IBM-host attached terminal. General The IBM PC that had been marketed by IBM since 1981, using Intel 8088, was not powerful enough to process the far eastern languages of Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Nor was the resolution of IBM PC's display high enough to show the complex characters of these languages. The IBM 5550 was first introduced in Japan in March 1983, using Intel 8086 microprocessor and was called "Multistation 5550" because it had three roles in one machine: a Personal Computer, PC, a word processing machine which was traditionally marketed in Japan as a machine different from a PC, and an online ter ...

DBCS
A double-byte character set (DBCS) is a character encoding in which either all characters (including control characters) are encoded in two bytes, or merely every graphic character not representable by an accompanying single-byte character set ( SBCS) is encoded in two bytes (Han characters would generally comprise most of these two-byte characters). A DBCS supports national languages that contain many unique characters or symbols (the maximum number of characters that can be represented with one byte is 256 characters, while two bytes can represent up to 65,536 characters). Examples of such languages include Japanese and Chinese. Hangul does not contain as many characters, but KS X 1001 supports both Hangul and Hanja, and uses two bytes per character. In CJK computing The term ''DBCS'' traditionally refers to a character encoding where each graphic character is encoded in two bytes. In an 8-bit code, such as Big-5 or Shift JIS, a character from the DBCS is represented with a le ...

User Interface
In the industrial design field of human–computer interaction, a user interface (UI) is the space where interactions between humans and machines occur. The goal of this interaction is to allow effective operation and control of the machine from the human end, while the machine simultaneously feeds back information that aids the operators' decision-making process. Examples of this broad concept of user interfaces include the interactive aspects of computer operating systems, hand tools, heavy machinery operator controls and Unit operation, process controls. The design considerations applicable when creating user interfaces are related to, or involve such disciplines as, ergonomics and psychology. Generally, the goal of user interface design is to produce a user interface that makes it easy, efficient, and enjoyable (user-friendly) to operate a machine in the way which produces the desired result (i.e. maximum usability). This generally means that the operator needs to provide mi ...
