From: Stephen Gildea <GILDEA @ MIT-MC> We (The Earth Resourses Lab in building E34) now has a VAX 780 running 4.2 Unix. We are looking into buying a number of single-user computers/workstations to take some of the load off the Vax. I would like your thoughts on what we should buy. They would be used primarily for text editing, probably using the Vax a file server. Ideally the working environment should be as similiar as possible to that on the Vax, i.e., a vi or EMACS editor. A Unix based operating system would be nice, too. Price is a big consideration, since we indend to buy lots of these things. I am not on this mailing list, so please respond directly to me. I will summarize and post the info I get. Thanks in advance, Stephen Gildea gildea@mit-mc
