I was wondering if anybody out there can suggest a good mail reader, and a good communications program, that I can compile under this system. As well, is it possible to find a different C compiler than the on provided by Micorport? And also: is there ANYTHING other than vi that I can use as a text editor. Maybe most Unix users are used to it (although I find it hard to believe anybody can get used to vi) but I really would like something better! Hope these questions aren't too inane. -Brian Brian Hendrix ersys!bhendrix@nro.cs.athabascau.ca Edmonton Remote Systems: Serving Northern Alberta since 1982
