new installations are done by windows users, not by unix system admins. at least 90% ... while ed, vi and emacs might be nice for old unix hackers, joe is the right choice for old dos hackers.
i'm useing vim everyday, and i will rather use sed than ae or that mini vi. joe would be acceptable, too. andreas +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++ Gosh I forgot about joe (havn't used it since I went from slackware to debian. Joe is a sortof clone of wordstar. Wow, I used wordstar for some time before getting wordperfect. (Now at work I'm stuck with MS word. YUCK! Always getting documents infected with viruses). If ae is a mini set of vi (cursor keys, insert, delete, write commands same) then I would not get lost. Anyone remember DEC's teco? Is there a free clone of that? Teco's macro language was so extensive that I heard of a mad decee who wrote a startrek game in teco. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
