Is there:
1. A TOS type more program with the same look and feel (and most of
the functions!) of the unix binary 'more'?
2. Is there any way to replace the more in Gulam with it?
I am a vi-guy, and do not like the emacs clone that Gulam uses for it's more
function. Please include a filename and ftp site (if applicable). Thanks
in advance!!

Is there any way to replace the more in Gulam with it? i generally alias "t" to "less" and just type "t filename" which is faster than "more filename". i believe that aliases take precedence over built-ins so aliasing more to c:\bin\more.ttp (or whatever) will probably work. "t" stands for "type" (ala MS-DOS and VMS, though i don't use either much if at all, prefering unix look/feel and correct byte order in words :-). >I am a vi-guy, and do not like the emacs clone that Gulam uses for it's more too bad, that's your loss... *8^) actually, i don't like the gulam emacs clone either. there are superior alternatives: 1) MicroEMACS (i use v3.9i over v3.10), 2) a port of real GNU emacs (which is big and somewhat flakey in a "normal" CR-LF TOS environment). the former loads in about a second from a ramdisk, so there is no real speed improvement of gulam emacs. gulam emacs does let you fg/bg the editor, though, which is nice. there are other emacses (jove, MWC emacs, micrognuemacs, etc), but i think (for me) MicroEMACS is the best all around. language context sensitivity and multiple windows make emacs superior for me. and the argument for portability of vi over emacs is waning: emacs is supplied/available by/for most (unix) vendors these days including convex, cray (soon?), sun, dec, AIX (?), etc, etc, etc). -bill -- Bill Rosenkranz |UUCP: {uunet,texsun}!convex!c1yankee!rosenkra Convex Computer Corp. |ARPA: rosenkra%c1yankee@convex.com
