The IBM commitment to UNIX, if it is sincere, will almost require it for a familiarity aid/conversion tool for VM hackers. It is rumored that there are some Rexx compilers in the works somewhere. I imagine we just have to be patient. It might also be nice to have Xedit on UNIX. It is easier to learn than vi and would be another familiarity/conversion aid for IBMers that see the light :-). -tank- #include /* nobody knows the trouble I .... */ tank@apctrc.trc.amoco.com ..!uunet!apctrc!tank
