I use ex (the line mode of vi) for almost all my editing and programming tasks, and prefer it to any other editor. It's a superset of ed (okay, a few minor inconsistencies). I was planning to fork GNU ed to make my own ex, but just in time Vim 7.0 came out, which was the first Vim to have a competent ex mode. -- But you, Wormtongue, you have done what you could for your true master. Some reward you have earned at least. Yet Saruman is apt to overlook his bargains. I should advise you to go quickly and remind him, lest he forget your faithful service. --Gandalf John Cowan <co...@ccil.org> _______________________________________________ bug-ed mailing list bug-ed@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ed
