	I am the author of TVX.  There was a minor compiler dependent
bug in the version posted to mod.sources.  I posted the fix to net.sources,
but the moderator of mod.sources for some reason didn't post them
to mod.sources.  If anyone wants the sources and/or bug fixes, please
send me e-mail and I will tell you how to get copies.  The mod.sources
really does work and really doesn't require significant work to port.
I haven't gotten any response back about the amiga, but I have heard
about the ST, the Mac, C128 CP/M, VMS, and all sorts of Unix systems.
Take my (unbiased..) word for it.  If you like vi or two mode editors
and can't stand all the finger straining and hand movement you need
for emacs, try TVX either with its own command set or in the vi
emulation.
