Well, if your hands aren't hardcoded to vi or emacs, then you should really like nedit. Here at work, we use to use the old Apollo Domain editor (the DM editor) and cried when all the Apollo's were replaced with HPs. We were stuck with a choice between a poor emulation of the DM editor and HPs VUE editor. I brought over nedit to the HPs and have slowly converted everyone. Engineers are using it now on all our UNIX machines - HPs, Suns, FreeBSD PCs, and soon to be SGI. Nedit has a lot of feature, cut & paste (rectangular too :)), search and replace with wildcards, macros, split windows, user preferences, etc. Motif look and feel, similar to XEmacs without all the bloat. Maybe I convert one more, eh? ;-) Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.interWorks.org
