I was just about to go ahead and install vile everywhere on this site
(after a trial run on PC's and HP /400 and /700 WS's, all rather
satisfactory), when I saw xvi appear in comp.sources.misc!  Nach,
always too much choice...:-)

Seriously, has anybody looked at both vi-clones-with-windowing already,
comparing them?  We use PC's and several kind Unix WS's and a few VAX
machines and are seriously wondering... I guess I'll go ahead and try
both side by side but just in case somebody had already done that I
just thought I'd ask!  Feedback appreciated both here and in mail, if
I am requested I will summarize whatever I do get my mail, advthanksance.
