[comp.sys.amiga.applications] Need a VI like editor DESPERATELY!!!!

rtbakker@fwi.uva.nl (R.T. Bakker (I85)) (06/24/91)

Maybe I'm the only one, but 'vi' is my kind of editor. But the problem is
however that I can not find a 'vi' like editor with a wordwrap function.
The following editors I have already tried:
	Stevie  (version 3.7a, whatever, doesn't have wordwrap)
	Xi_unix (not a real 'vi' compatible editor).
	Z       (a small (42K) 'vi' like editor, but with no wordwrap.
		 it has have however a 'wm' setting that sould trigger the
		 wordwrap function, but it doesn't. I tried wm=0, wm=-1,
		 wm=1 and wm=78)

Could somebody help me with a ftp address where I could find a true 'vi'
editor, or at least with a wordwrap function. Or maybe mail me one.

Any help is appreciated to: rtbakker@fwi.uva.nl

Try Matt Dillon's `dme' editor. It does have a wordwrap feature, and although 
it isn't vi, it might meet your needs. dme is available on the fish disks.

Theres an editor called Stevie on fish disk 256 which is a clone
of the UNIX 'vi' editor. (version 3.7a) 

I havent actually used this so I cant comment on its performance etc.

Hope this somehow helps your problem!..

I have the source to Stevie, a supposed vi-like editor (yes, it's Ami source).
The archive might have included an executable but I doubt it.  I haven't 
compiled it so I can't vouch for it's usefullness.  I think I found it on
Xanth a long time ago.  Check at ab20 and see if it's there.
