I am having trouble getting stevie to read the exinit environment variable and initialize certain settings on startup. Does anyone have a solution for this? The manual page indicates that I should be able to initialize certain things (se nu, for example) via this variable but I haven't been able to get it to work. Thanks in advance, -Graham

Probably not what you want to hear, but you can edit the source (available at wuarchive.wustl.edu /mirrors/msdos/editor as stevi69s.zip -- and probably available other places as well), hard-code the "set" variables, and recompile. Kind of a pain, but it gets the job done. -- Morgen Sagen -- msagen@polyslo.calpoly.edu

Try including the 'set' command in the environment string. I had similar problems until I looked over the source closely. My stevie will also react to a LINES= statement in the environment, and simply set the default number of lines. (why? I used the same binary on my bbs and my main machine... ) -- Roy M.

It has extensions too numerous to mention here, and supports OS/2 as well. It is available for FTP from utsun.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp (133.11.11.11) in the directory fj/jstevie1.3. By the way, if you want to edit Japanese, then Jstevie supports it too. (You need a front-end processor (FEP) and fonts for your machine, though). =============================================================================== Eric Edward Bowles Dept of Information Science, Faculty of Science University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku bowles@is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp Tokyo, JAPAN 113. +81-3-812-2111 x4096 =============================================================================== Eric Edward Bowles Dept of Information Science, Faculty of Science University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku bowles@is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp Tokyo, JAPAN 113. +81-3-812-2111 x4096
