Hey Ken, First I heard of "vim" right here and now. (Who says these forums aren't useful?). Learn something new everyday!
Merely mentioned that winvi32 was available, and seems to work wonderfully, bringing this Unix Editor into the Windows realm. And it appears to be a freebie - shareware - whatever.
Guess in my copious free time, I will check out www.vim.org, (but I get the sense it may be kind of cult-ish ;^)>
To each their own Editor! Different strokes for different folks!
Thanks for sharing, and enlightening.

winvi32 brings the power of the "vi" editor to Windows. It's a wonderful thing. For more information, Google for "winvi32".
Scott, can you briefly outline the advantages WinVi32 offers over gvim (www.vim.org)? I did a quick google, but what I saw didn't seem to be in the same league as vim.
The really great things about vim which are better than straight vi are the
multiple undo buffers and the command/search history facilities. I also
quite like the syntax highlighting, but could live without it.
I use the gui version of vim (gvim) as my main editor on Windows, Linux ships with vim instead of vi, and one of my clients is just looking at installing vim on Solaris in preference to vi.
Cheers,
Ken
