Postfach 110324 D-W-8400 Regensburg Germany It's a very nice editor, many of our programmers use it since some years. We have it installed on our XENIX systems.

(GNU) Well, yes, there is, but it's a pretty poor emulation. There are differences in approach, most notably in block operations, that make the two incompatible at the lowest levels of usability. There was an editor hiding in a post to comp.binaries.ibm.pc that included Unix source; contact doug@giaea.oz.au for details. It's an evolving program. -- Jay Maynard, EMT-P, K5ZC, PP-ASEL | Never ascribe to malice that which can jmaynard@thesis1.hsch.utexas.edu | adequately be explained by stupidity.
