About a year and half ago my 1040 died (or was on it's last disk drive) After relocating, selling one house, buying another, I had the space to set my system again. Lo and behold, that which was "broken" is now fixed. I'm now in the market to buy new stuff for my toy. I'v missed out on the heated discussions and so I'm looking for summaries. What's a really good editor for the ST. VIX and STeVI don't cut it as Vi clones (my editor of choice on Unix). Do I really need to break down and make microemacs 3.10 the editor I use on all 6 systems? I have Tempus already, I am aware that there is no upgrade to Tempus II. What is the difference between the two versions and is it worth it. I have the monoscreen. I don't want to pay $340 for a color monitor for DM and other "cool" :-) games; My wife wants something the the kids can use. Does VidioKey present a real alternative to buying a color monitor. Does anybody use a VidioKey without cursesing it to high heaven. Is there a list of the current versions of software, so that I can figure out of all my packages, which need to be upgraded to be really usable. What are the good WordProcessing packages as opposed to the DeskTop Publishing wannabe's? What the essential differences between DC desktop and NeoDesk 3.0 (The major thing I see is the Neo CLI. [I seen the other CLI's and I'm not impressed.]) Has anyone ported Perl to the ST? [It does run on a PC, why not an ST? -- Kermit Tensmeyer | Intergraph Corporation UUCP: ...uunet!ingr!tensmekl | One Madison Industrial Park INTERNET: tensmekl@ingr.com | Mail Stop LR23A2 AT&T: (205)730-8127 | Huntsville, AL 35807-4201

The only problem I've had with it is that it ignores any \etc\termcap file you might have and requires you to set up your TERM environment variable to vt52. > Do I really need to break down and make microemacs 3.10 the editor > I use on all 6 systems? Why not make GNU Emacs the editor of choice on all systems? It even has a 'vi' simulation available for it. Of course, more than 1 Megabyte is recommended (if not required) for the ST. > Has anyone ported Perl to the ST? [It does run on a PC, why not an > ST? Yes, that's been done. You can ftp it from cs.uni-sb.de (134.96.7.254). Also, if it's not on the atari.archive, I could post it there. > > >-- >Kermit Tensmeyer | Intergraph Corporation >UUCP: ...uunet!ingr!tensmekl | One Madison Industrial Park >INTERNET: tensmekl@ingr.com | Mail Stop LR23A2 >AT&T: (205)730-8127 | Huntsville, AL 35807-4201 -- Roy Bixler rcb@netcom.com -or- (UUCP) uunet!apple!netcom!rcb

Of course, everyone uses VI a little differently . . . If you do know of bugs in this version, please email or post. -- ---------------------------------+------------------------------------- Mickey R.
