If there is any possibiltiy that you will be called on to maintain any *x system at all, you can bet a lot of them do not have nedit, joe, pico, jed, emacs or many of the others. You _can_ expect to find vi, ed and sed. vi is light-weight and designed to be used over slow links. ed is pretty similar, but lacks the visual element. sed is strictly batch-oriented. _I_ regularly do system maintenance by dialup, and no GUI is especially useful at the other end of a modem. -- Cheers John Summerfield -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
