For the record, I use vi. Not just any vi either but THE vi in /usr/xpg4/bin/vi and I set my env var EDITOR that way too. Oh .. don't know if anyone knows this bit of trivia in the Solaris world but Rich Teer wrote his massive 1152 page book, "Solaris Systems Programming" in the time honoured tradition of using vi and troff. It says so on page xxxvi.[1] wow Well I entered every character of this message using toggle switches at the front panel with my left foot tapping out square wave clock signals to manually refresh the DRAM. :-) -- Dennis Clarke [1] got it right here on my desk and I excluded the index and bibliography from that page count.
