-
- REDT (for UNIX and Amiga) has the columnwise cut and paste operations you
- describe as well as insert cut/copied column.
-
- REDT does not have the column delimited editing mode; however, some of this
- functionality can be achieved with the learn/macro keystroke facility.
-
- Other REDT columnwise features include, tally column block (registering
- sum, count and average numbers in the selected column block)
- and sorting keyed on the selected column block.
