We are doing software development that is intended for a Hispanic- language customer. We would like to use vi as our programming editor, but it seems that it strips the eighth bit from characters which are entered using the compose key on a VT220 compatible terminal. Can someone please advise me how to force vi to desist from this obnoxious behaviour, or tell me which SCO Xenix editor can be used? And if someone says EMACS, then please tell me where I can obtain a copy of it for SCO Xenix 2.2, real fast! Like, gag me with a popen(), -- Paul Gillingwater --> Path: ...!uunet!vuwcomp!dsiramd!csnz!paul Computer Sciences of New Zealand Ltd.

Your nearest comp.sources.unix archive site should have a copy of any number of EMACS'. I have Micro-GNU-Emacs 3.9 [e?] here. I suggest you find a source down-under if you don't want to pay mucho bucks on toll charges. -- John F.
