Hi Jim Bryant; On 30-Sep-97 you wrote: ... > simon, this is where i draw the line... vi is pure unadulterated > evil.

Used ed, and something tcalled ``the Rand E editor''. Then used vi, then SAM from Plan9 for the longest time. Could not stomach the idea that a text editor consumes 600 times the disk space my first home computer did (Heathkit H8). Trying to adjust to KNF made me, reluctuntly switch to xemacs. Justin gave me some .emacs scripts that (hopefully) make the code presentable. If you know of another (better) whatchamagig to help me, please let me know (Justin claims to be a vi man). --- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Atlas Telecom Senior Architect 14355 SW Allen Blvd., Suite 130 Beaverton OR 97005 Shimon@i-Connect.Net Voice: 503.799.2313
