Adam may call me a heretic also but I agree with Paul. While there are many other editors available on *ix and you can easily start a holy war over which is the best, vi is the editor that you can be sure is there. Want to install EMACS (aka Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping) or THE or any others on a newly installed *ix? Use vi to tailor the makefile and config files first. Coming in as a consultant and the system doesn't have SuperEditorX which you are used to, and you don't have the time to learn SuperEditorY, it will almost certainly have vi. -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time.
