Surprise: GNU Emacs runs on VMS (newsgroup: gnu.emacs.vms) and has two vi emulations! as you might have read in my previous posting. Here's the front page of the VIP emulation info tree: -------------------------------------------- File: vip Node: Top, Up: (DIR), Next: Survey VIP *** VIP is a Vi emulating package written in Emacs Lisp. VIP implements most Vi commands including Ex commands. It is therefore hoped that this package will enable you to do Vi style editing under the powerful GNU Emacs environment. This info file describes the usage of VIP assuming that you are fairly accustomed to Vi but not so much with Emacs. Also we will concentrate mainly on differences from Vi, especially features unique to VIP. It is recommended that you read nodes on survey and on customization before you start using VIP. Other nodes may be visited as needed. Comments and bug reports are welcome. Please send messages to `ms@Sail.Stanford.Edu' if you are outside of Japan and to `masahiko@sato.riec.tohoku.junet' if you are in Japan. * Menu: * Survey:: A survey of VIP. * Vi Commands:: Details of Vi commands. * Ex Commands:: Details of Ex commands. * Customization:: How to customize VIP. -- Dan_Jacobson@ATT.COM Naperville IL USA +1 708-979-6364
