I am looking for a vi type text editor to be used under Ms-Dos. I work on both Ms-Dos and Unix machines and I would like to have a vi look-alike to modify text files, instead of using edlin of loading up my word processor.

I missed the base posting, but if the reproduced part catches the essence of it, Stevie will do fine. It was posted a few weeks ago to comp.sources.misc, with a bug-fix (and the missing file ascii.h) posted to comp.sources.d. I am currently typing this in on Stevie from a UNIX machine. I use the same editor on MSDOS, and the posting also includes Make information for OS/2, MINIX, and the Atari ST. Someone is also working on a VMS port. If there's something in the original posting that renders Stevie inadequate for the task, well....

It includes ex ":" commands, macros and a lot of bug fixes. It can edit kanji and other 8-bit stuff. I just added the :so (source) command, the :! (shell escape) and fixed some macro interpretation. It is not really stable yet but the authors were kind enough to send me out a "current" version upon which to hack. >If there's something in the original posting that renders Stevie >inadequate for the task, well.... "Never mind" ex commands, bugs, no 8-bit char sets, ... I'll send it if you're in europe, and I'll make it available via anon ftp if I get enough requests... -Mitch
