There is also a VI - like editor that comes with the MS-DOS AZTEC C-compiler called "Z". Another possibility is using the BRIEF(TM) editor from Underware with a set of macros that make BRIEF behave like VI (why you would want to use VI macros with BRIEF when you can use it in its native mode is a mystery to me). ray curci curci@nu.cs.fsu.edu

Before the MKS vi came out I had to use Z for a whlie. It's pretty wretched-- a small subset of real VI, with (for example) most of the ":" commands left out, and, if memory serves, something under 64K limit on file size. Very difficult to work with if you know the real vi well and are accustomed to using more than its basic capabilities. I will grant that on an XT it was much faster with screen updates... MKS vi was a little slow for an XT (wonderful on an AT or 386, though). -Antonio Romero romero@confidence.princeton.edu
