> There has never been a faster editor [than vi]. Well, when we benchmarked the Rand editor against vi, the Rand editor read in a file four times as fast as vi, and when we read in a file, changed one character, and wrote it out again, the Rand editor was twice as fast as vi. This was some years ago; I don't know if the buffer-management code in vi has been rewritten since then. Mike O'Brien
