I just received the beta test version of PC/VI Version 1.02 from
Custom Software Systems (For those who don't know it, PC/VI is a
full implementation of VI which runs under MS-DOS). The release
notice which came with the program documented a number of
enhancements and bug fixes, this included a feature called "mode
lines". The release notice stated that this was a feature
implemented in PC/VI just as it is in AT&T's Version 3.9 of UNIX VI.
Now for the big question, what are mode lines?!? Anyone out there
running AT&T VI who can answer this?
