|From: rush@xanadu.llnl.gov (Alan Edwards) |Organization: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory | |I am a systems administrator for a small network of Sun computers |(Unix) at LLNL. Recently, the department I work for hired a |person who absolutely refuses to learn a new editor. I tried |to teach him the basic vi commands; figuring that vi is easy |to get started with, and it is readily available. But he is |used to working with the EDT editor on a VMS system and WILL |NOT BUDGE. |From article <840@swbatl.UUCP>, by uucibg@swbatl.UUCP (3929): |I do *NOT* want to start another editor war, but I've recently started doing |some work on a DEC machine running VMS. My preferred editor is VI (and no I |will not discuss why :-). If anyone knows of any vi-modes for VAXTPU or |EDT or EVE or whatever, I'd really, really, really appreciate it (learning a |new editor is such a time consuming process and I don't have much time right |now).
