(201) 542 2121. [Taken from the 1986 manual.] Yow! Let me recommend AGAINST the "Z" editor from Manx. While they will sell it as a standalone package (it's normally bundled with their compiler), it is EXPENSIVE to buy that way (cost as much as MKS vi, if I remember correctly), and is nowhere near as powerful. It is evident that Z was compiled with a "small" memory model: Editing is limited to files about 32K or less in length, and is missing lots of features that vi users will sorely miss. john nelson UUCP: {decvax,mit-eddie}!genrad!jpn smail: jpn@genrad.com
