Happy Birthday Vim
Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday dear Vi-im! Happy Birthday To You! and Many Happy Returns of the Day! Vim is 12 years old today: its first public release (Vim 1.14 for the Amiga) happened on 2 November 1991 on Fish disk #591.

The manual for one variant describes it as the extensible, customizable, self-documenting, real-time display editor.^[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs#cite_note-2 Development began in the mid-1970s and continues actively as of 2013. Emacs has over 2,000 built-in commands and allows the user to combine these commands into macros http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macro_%28computer_science%29 to automate work. The use of Emacs Lisp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs_Lisp, a variant of the Lisp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_%28programming_language%29 programming language, provides a deep extension capability. The original EMACS was written in 1976 by Richard Stallman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman and Guy L. Steele, Jr. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_L._Steele,_Jr. as a set of /Editor MACroS/ for the TECO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_Editor_and_Corrector editor.^[3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs#cite_note-3 ^[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs#cite_note-4 ^[5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs#cite_note-5 ^[6] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs#cite_note-MACSimizing_TECO-6 It was inspired by the ideas of the TECO-macro editors TECMAC and TMACS.^[7] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs#cite_note-7 Emacs became, along with vi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi, one of the two main contenders in the traditional editor wars http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_war of Unix http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix culture. The word emacs is often pluralized as /emacsen/ ^[/importance? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:INDISCRIMINATE/] ,by analogy with boxen http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/boxen and VAXen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAX.^[8] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs#cite_note-8 The most popular, and most ported, version of Emacs is *GNU Emacs,* which was created by Stallman for the GNU Project http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Project.^[9] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs#cite_note-9 XEmacs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XEmacs is a common variant that branched http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_%28software_development%29 from GNU Emacs in 1991. Both of the variants use Emacs Lisp and are for the most part compatible with each other. v/r, Greg -- -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist. Do not top-post!
