FCKeditor can be downloaded from a link available at the home page:

FCKeditor is copyright © 2003 - 2008 Frederico Caldeira Knabben and released under GPL.

The default FCKeditor requires an ODS-5 volume due to the use of multiple periods in file names.  As of version 2.5 and 2.6 it also has embedded BOM sequences (unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM) in some files that need to be removed (the utility STRIP_BOM_CR.C in the VWcms source code directory can do this). Of course these issues make it a more difficult package to work with than TinyMCE.

There is also a modified version suitable for immediate use with VWcms (unnecessary functionality removed) on an ODS-2 volume, available from the same download site as the VWcms kit.

The editor must be mapped into server-space.  Which of the following rules and to which part of the physical file-system depends on site requirements.
