There is a freely redistributable VI clone called "elvis" that has virtually all of "vi" and "ex" commands, instead of a subset like "stevie" or "z". I was going to port it to the Amiga when my RAM card died. It's going to be pubbed in comp.sources.misc in a week or so by the author, along with MS-DOS and ST ports. An Amiga port of Elvis would be greatly appreciated. -- _--_|\ Peter da Silva . / \ \_.--._/ I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere! v "Have you hugged your wolf today?" `-_-'
