Hi PST cc ports
I was thinking of learning gnats, but
gnats/Makefile:
BUILD_DEPENDS= emacs:${PORTSDIR}/editors/emacs
on freefall:
10379090 Jun 11 01:34 emacs-19.31.tar.gz
I have a 14K modem & limited ftp patience / money for the phone company,
plus I happen to like vi, & don't want to learn emacs.
Qestion: Is emacs mandatory ? or does gnats have a `running light' capability
for vi / whatever-editor-you-choose, instead of emacs.
For instance EXMH supports whatever-editor-you-choose.
PS please folks, don't let this degenerate into a boring
editor religous thread, thanks :-)
PPS yes I've ordered ISDN, but thats still only 64Kbps, & thats's 10M
of emacs out there I don't want to ftp & learn, I just want to learn gnats :-)
Julian
