Three or four weeks ago I asked for advice on editors for our undergraduates in the Dept. of Physics. This is a summary of the recommendations I received. Emacs in one of its many forms - 9 people. "naked" vi - 1 person. KEDIT, a DOS editor - 1 person. SC - 1 person. SPF - 1 person. In addition, Todd Burkey offered a chance to alpha test his folding editor: despite repeated attempts I couldn't get our mailers to send him a reply. So here I can say "Thanks Todd but I don't think it is what I am looking for." I am in the process of running down KEDIT and SPF so I can take a look. Thanks to all who responded. I haven't yet decided what to do but your help is appreciated. -- David Harrison | "God does not play dice with Dept. of Physics, Univ of Toronto | the universe." -- Einstein UUCP: uunet!attcan!utgpu!utfyzx!harrison | "Quit telling God what to BITNET: HARRISON@UTORPHYS | do." -- Neils Bohr
