EDLIN comes from the comany that has slowed the PClones down quite a bit (with the thing that is called MeSsy-DOgS!) EDLIN is as utterly dumb as you can get. It doesn't even have regular expressions *sigh* Hmm.... I just got an idea about the vi vs. emacs vs. others-editors: Why not create a group called: comp.editors.flame.wars.between.emacs.and.vi.and.other.editors That way we could unsubscribe to that group and have those that insist that their editor is the best since sliced bread post to that group instead of comp.editors :-) just my opinion, (and who is listening anyway :-) -- einari@rhi.hi.is
