<p>A few nights ago, I went looking to find other options in the way of editors to try out. I found links to [id://236804] and [id://531175], and began opening links to see what each was about. I found several links, however, that appear to have suffered bit-rot, and thought I should bring it to someone's attention. Where I could, I have tried also to find or suggest updated or possibly better links.

<ul>
<li>Alpha - link in "Code Editors..." currently redirects to the LinkedIn page for a Mac developer (Daniel Steffen). It appears Alpha itself ceased development, and a group of developers picked up the code as the AlphaX project (which can be found at [http://alphatcl.sf.net/]). (Daniel Steffen, mentioned earlier, appears to be one of the contributors to the AlphaX project.)
<li>CoolEdit - link in "Code Editors..." currently
returns a SourceForge (SF) error page. FreeCode has a project page for it ([http://freecode.com/projects/cooledit]), which links to a directory on iBiblio.org containing a release ([ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/apps/editors/X/cooledit]).
<li>Glimmer - link in "Code Editors..." currently returns a SF placeholder page. Would a better link be the SF project summary page ([http://sf.net/projects/glimmer/])?
<li>Perl Scripting Tool - link in "Code Editors..." returns a 404 error page. Possible working link: [http://perlscriptingtool.tnlsoft.com/].
<li>XCode - link in "Code Editors..." currently returns a 404 error page. Possible working link: [https://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/].
<li>CodeWright - link in "Code Editors..." current returns a 404 error page, and it appears Borland has ceased development. Would a better link for this currently be the Wikipedia page for [wp://CodeWright]?
<li>Nvi - link in "Code Editors..." currently returns a 404 error page. Possible working link: [https://sites.google.com/a/bostic.com/keithbostic/vi/].
<li>GNU Emacs on Windows - link in "Code Editors..." currently returns a 404 error page. Possible working link: [http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows].
<li>Proton (English and German links) - links in "Code Editors..." currently return a 404 error page. Possible working link: [http://www.chip.de/downloads/Proton_13007891.html].
<li>Notepad+ - link in "Code Editors..." currently returns a 404 error page. Possible working link: [http://download.cnet.com/Notepad-Plus/3000-2351_4-75946621.html].
<li>Perl Code Editor - links in both pages currently return a 404 error page. Unable to find working link yet.
<li>PerlWiz - links in both pages currently return a page in Russian that did not appear computer related (I could be wrong, however). Possible working link: [http://perlwiz.com/].
<li>PrimalSCRIPT - link in "Code Editors..." currently returns a 404 error page. Possible working link: [http://www.sapien.com/software/primalscript].
<li>Lemmy - link in "Code Editors..." currently returns a 404 error page. Possible working link: [http://www.unixtools.co.uk/lemmy45.html].
<li>Anjuta - link in "Perl Development..." currently returns a SF placeholder page. Would a better link be the SF project summary page ([http://sf.net/projects/anjuta/])?
