KevEdit is a ZZT editor that was under development from 2000-2005 by Kevin Vance and Ryan Phillips. It runs under DOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux.
As of 2023 it is maintained by Kevin Vance on github. Maintenance is focused on improvements for running KevEdit on modern computers while still supporting DOS.
Binary releases are available for 32-bit DOS, 64-bit Linux and Windows, and macOS (x86_64 and arm64) from github releases.
$ kevedit [file.zzt]
Press H in the editor to access the interactive help.
$ ./bootstrap.sh # only if building from git
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
If building from git, the bootstrap script requires that you have pkg-config and SDL2 installed. If you are using a source tarball, you can skip directly to running the configure script.
Docker containers are provided for building Linux AppImage binaries, as well as cross-compiling to macOS, Windows, and DOS. This is automated by a python build script:
$ cd inst
$ ./build.py [appimage] [dos] [macos] [windows]
$ ls dist
To build the docker images and tag them as 'latest' instead of pulling them from Docker Hub:
$ cd inst
$ ./build.py -i build -t [appimage] [dos] [macos] [windows]
