I just sent a copy of STEVIE (a vi-clone) to comp.sources.amiga. Both binary and source are included. If you want a copy, send the moderators mail and maybe we'll see a faster turn-around than 4 months. Or you could wait for it to turn up on a fish disk (I also sent it to Fred Fish). It is a port (with lots'a re-writing) from a version that worked on various other machines. It isn't perfect, but with source included you can add whatever features that you like. fred

That would be good. Easy too. fred

[] Fred, I FTPd stevie3_35a from your machine, and the binary seemed to work (quick test) on my Amiga at work, but just locked up upon startup on my Amiga at home. I haven't investigated the problem, but it's worth noting that the work machine still runs 1.2, but I'm using version 1.3 of the OS at home. Has anybody out there used it with a 1.3 Kickstart and Workbench? Kayembee

Did you try to resize the window STEVIE was in ? On some machines STEVIE gets confused when it first tries to get the window size (I/O must be getting lost somewhere is my guess) and it waits until it gets the proper window size info from the console. Resizing the window causes this info to be sent again. fred

Hello world. When I run Stevie in the background with "RUN Stevie", or when it is invoked by the mail program from AmigaUUCP, it starts up with a window about 60 columns wide instead of 80. Is there any way to change this behavior? -- Jeff Van Epps UUCP: sun!pitstop!playroom!amusing!lordbah ARPA: jeffrey_j_vanepps@cup.portal.com

I've had some trouble getting the STEVIE editor to work on my system. It seems that the sucker doesn't like being told to open its own window. I'm running Mach II 2.5, WShell 1.2, Arexx 1.10, ARP/Kickstart 1.3 on a one meg 2000 with a GVP 25 MHz '030 board (yeah, I know, but a friend was selling it cheap and I'm getting the memory as soon as I can afford it.) If you know of a better VI clone, I'm all ears, but please don't tell me to use emacs. I seem to have a mental block when it comes to emacs; I can't learn it no matter how hard I try. Email responses are fine, thanks. -- --dfh ...uunet!tronsbox!dsoft!dfrancis "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." -Albert Einstein
