- I'm using another vi port, which came with the old RCS distribution (not the
- 2.0 only one). I believe it had two, one of which was Stevie... I'm using
- the other one. The main good point? FAST! It works with just about any
- size of CLI window and takes almost no time to page through big files.

- I agree! It does everything but write the code for you, BUT it is very
- slow to start! I downloaded that one, unpacked it, then spend the next
- minute staring in horror as it loaded gobs of data from my HD before giving
- me a nice standard emacs screen. If you never make mistakes and have to
- reboot your machine (thanks CBM, for your wonderful exception handler!)
- it's great, but I usually use either vi, or MG if I want to be emacsy.
