[This just didn't feel right with the WP flames in .applications.] Call me stupid, call me a masochist, but I'm searching for a good vi implementation under native AmigaDOS. I've found Avi on FF162 and Stevie v3.7a from FF256. Neither are close to real vi. I'm specifically looking for key mapping, the wrapmargin command, speed, and the killer: it has to run in the console window. No new windows. It would be nice if arbitrary window resizing, the function keys, the mouse, and other fonts were supported. In other words, I'm looking for full vi with a few Amiga extensions. Any pointers will me much appreciated. Please email and I will summarize. Thanks, -- Jason L.

I have a version of Elvis working with the Amiga. Should work on the AUX: device as well. Problem is, it's an old version of Elvis and I don't want to ship the source to avoid confusion with the latest version... someone else is working on that. Perhaps I should submit it to comp.binaries.amiga...? It doesn't do window resizing or anything like that, but it *does* work and you can set your TERMCAP to the size of your console.device. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' <peter@sugar.hackercorp.com>.
