Can you tell me which OS you’re using?

If it’s Windows, I haven’t tried it there (the editor predates it), but you could try:

I'm using Debian, on which operating system are you implementing this??

Currently it compiles under Ubuntu 22.04 Linux (with 3 warnings), and MacOS.
This editor has a long history though, as I originally wrote it in assembly for a Data General Eclipse, then ported it to pre-ANSI-C Unix in the mid 80s.

damn, in mid 80s is dope! let me know if you want any help from my side :)

Thanks, and feel free to patch it for Debian.
I've added a blurb to the README about the WordStar diamond. Still need to add more background.

How about writing an editor or IDE(specifically for c/c++) together??

Way back when this was my daily driver I'd use cscope with it as an IDE of sorts. But it's no match for modern IDEs and editors, just better than vi when you're in the shell. So I have export EDITOR=ec in .zprofile
