[comp.os.os9] os9 VI

jmh@cscosl.ncsu.edu (j Mark Holt) (02/13/90)

I recently started a project on a 68000-based os9 machine.  umacs is the
supplied editor, but I'm used to (and prefer) VI.  I use an editor called
'stevie' on my PC and might try to get it running under os9.  I want to know
if anyone knows of a version of vi (or stevie) for os9.  umacs is fine, but
I want to try to get vi.  Thank you for your support. (e-mail, rather than
news, would be great, as I don't get to rn much nowadays)
	
		many thanks

I have ported version 3.69 of stevie to OSK and to Atari TOS. I have send my
patches (containing also many bug fixes) to the author of stevie, Tony Andrews,
a few days ago. Perhaps he may want to incorporate the changes into his
original sources. Meanwhile, if somebody is interested in the diffs, I'll be
able to e-mail them.

I believe this topic is of greater interest, therefore I decided to post.
