Yet, I fail to see any reason to have an editor, broswer, email client, and whatever else emacs is in one package. Whereas, vim contains all the features I need, and can be put on a floppy (gotta have an editor in win* too). Whereas, emacs-20.3-3 would take 57.5798611111111 floppies (ok, 58). Actually, I'm not even sure if this is the entire package. I know I removed four of five *emacs* packages earlier, wonder how this one snuck by. du -k `rpm -ql emacs-20.3-3` | perl -lane '$sum+=@F[0];print $sum/1440;' && rpm -e emacs-20.3-3 But, I suppose you've got the best of both worlds, since you use both. But, I'd be interested in hearing what emacs does for you that vim fails to outside of hard to reach control characters and memory consumption. Mike
