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).
Please email responses to me and I'll be happy to post a summary if there's
enough interest.
Thanks,

I wrote a fairly extenive emulation of VI under TPU while at school. It is in wide use at a lot of different places. You can get the latest information on obtaining it by sending mail to one of the following two addresses. vi-req@nemo.math.okstate.edu or vi-req@a.cs.okstate.edu -- ----- gregg.g.wonderly@att.com (AT&T bell laboratories)

If your site has a copy of the EUNICE stuff, I found the vi editor there to work ok under raw VMess. That was about only useful thing I ever had on that OS. Forget EDT. (I did! :-) FYI: EUNICE was a set of *NIX-like tools for VMS. Worked okay, but it was a dog in terms of performance. Except for vi, most of the other tools didn't do too well under raw VMS. --Richard Vireday Sorry for the followup, but a working Email path would take too long to figure out.
