vi for Windows
-
I could Google, but I wanted a valuable opinion, not merely a search engine's opinion, on what the best vi emulator for Windows is. I feel the need to go back to my roots. No more intellisense, or indeed mouse support for me. :-D cheers, Chris Maunder

Vim, www.vim.org. The best vi everywhere (I don't know where you can't run vim) Most linux systems have vim as their vi

If you want roots try to find an emulator for TECO. Anyone who is old enough to know it has got a smile on his face now. :):):):confused::):):) _____________________________________ Action without thought is not action Action without emotion is not life

Exactly what I was going to suggest.

Even when I'm on Unix/Linux, I don't use VI. There are so many alternatives... emacs, of course, and then there's something called nedit that emulates Windows editors on Linux. So that begs the question.. Why, Chris, why?? :-D An expert is somebody who learns more and more about less and less, until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.

TECO rocked!!! I even ported it to a system based on the Signetics 2650 processor back in the mid 70s - code came in at around 20K which left about 10K for data buffers. I still use the MS-DOS implementation of the EDT editor for much of my code inputting... I just located links for DOS/Windows/Linux versions of Teco Find them here[^] Steve

No, it's another sub-system layered on top of the Windows kernel - so if I list my processes, I've got 'cron', 'inetd' etc running, as part of the SFU sub-system. If I start up a ksh window, I can access my Windows file-system as part of the SFU file-system - the root directory of my C drive is /dev/fs/C/. You get pretty much all of the usual Unix utilities and, best of all, it's free! Stuart Dootson 'Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p'

I agree. Vim is probably the best vi in the world. :) -- ...Coca Cola, sometimes war...

It's what I've been using for many, many years. It's very power and I highly suggest it, too. In fact, that's what I've been using for a lot of my bug fixes where I work, as well as most of my example code I post in the C# and .NET forums for people. Both console mode and graphics mode (gvim) are superb. Software Design Engineer Developer Division Sustained Engineering Microsoft [My Articles]
