On the desktop I use kwrite for simple text editing, because it's uh ... simple. If I was a serious programmer I'd probably use kate. On the servers I use joe. Mainly because it works like the original Borland editor, which I used a lot when I did program. While most people say it's wordstar like, unless you start it in the wordstar-like mode it's much more like the original Borland editor. The guy who originally published WordStar was a friend; in fact my most popular product for the TRS-80 model 1 was the pilot programming language, which I originally implemented for the TRS-80 for his then very young son. I sold a lot of copies at early computer shows (anyone remember the West Coast Computer Faire?) when this little 8-year old amazed people at how easy it was to program in it <smile>. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seymour_I._Rubinstein Problem was that the guy is more famous for "inventing" the shrink-wrap license, which of course I hate as much as I liked Wordstar and it's work-alikes. (I know wikipedia doesn't credit Seymour for the shrink-wrap license; if I could find documentation on the 'net I'd add it, but I can't find it, and wikipedia doesn't like to trust people's memories. Seymour's company, as I recall, was the first company to use a shrinkwrap license.) Jeff -- Jeff Lasman, Nobaloney Internet Services P.O.
