All you gracious netters have flooded my mail box with responses.
I was amazed at the speed of the replies.  Some of you sented binaries,
tips, and helpful comments on the same day as my post.

I now have 3 vi clones to choose from, Stevie (majority's favorite),
Elvis, and vi.  I just have one question - Why are two of them called
Stevie and Elvis (????) ?  What's the relationship of the editors and
their names?


Paul

P.S. - Since over 30 responses are on these 3 editors, I like to inform
the Net that no further replies are necessary.  Thanks a million, you're
a good group.
