- I have inherited an Intel 310, bearing an 80286 chip but
- running Microsoft (not sco) Xenix, dating back to 1984-85 or so. It's
- a balky system, it doesn't work great, but I want to play with it to
- learn more about systems.
- The problem is that the only editor it has is VI. No offense
- to VI users, I just prefer not too -- too much Emacs training. I
- would like to find an editor which is vanilla as heck and will compile
- on an old, old C compiler. Can anyone here recommend one? I did try
- joe, and jove, and neither made it past the compiler. Both gave me
- error messages which I was unable to fix.
- Thanks in advance for any help -- email reply is fine unless
- you feel this is of general interest.
