        What do you mean?! I mentioned VIM to you countless times when you worked for me and you never paid interest! :)

              Ah, but I had UltraEdit, which I am still happy with, I am just looking at other editors in case I can't get UltraEdit down at work (I still have UltraEdit at home).

Naw...maybe twice, I probably missed what you said because your VIM comments were probably wrapped around two MIS jokes! ;P :-D - Nick Parker

                TECO was (is) an awesome editor - especially when the macros were used (36 buffers called "Q" registers could hold text or commands) - I created a complete mail merge / reporting system about 20 years ago. You could create commands on the fly, store them in one of the "Q" registers and then execute them. I even ported the editor to a Signetics 2650 microprocessor system using only about 14KB of RAM - which left about 20KB for text. :-D I still use a PC version of the DEC editor EDT - mostly because it creates a Journal file of all of the editing steps that can be recalled if the PC locks up or crashes.
