Add to this list Data General AViiON running DG/UX 4.30 (X windows of any size)

Two other nits:

o	~ = home directory or $HOME environment variable ie: ":r ~/text"
	    results in a file called "~/text" to be read (or not 8-) instead
	    of reading from the home directory of the user.
	    
o	^U will not erase input in 'ex' mode ie: "/fred^Ujoe" looks for a
	    string with fred^Ujoe in it instead of being interpreted as
	    "fred OOPS, I MEAN joe"

Other than these little nits, I LOVE it.  Very good job!
