Does someone remember the name of the vi clone which should be become a rewritten or refactored version vim ? I found it: http://www.yzis.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Eg see this paragraph here: http://osdir.com/ml/editors.yzis.devel/2008-02/msg00030.html > > IMHO that is one of the reasons yzis is stalled.

I don't want to say don't do it. But maybe consider talking to the authors of yzis as well to learn what they've been trying to get done and which trouble they had. I also have to say that I don't know that project very well so the quote above is a random one I found googling for "yzis stalled" and may not represent the current status of the project at all. Anyway: good luck with your project Maybe you should just fork the project and start your work? Forking has one advantage: You don't have to care that much about compatibility. Keep posting about your progress then. Sincerly Marc Weber --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
