- We have a heavily loaded vax on which we run our Lisp classes. It
- seems to me that we could lessen the load by not having VI start
- up anew every time the student does a VIL in Franz.
-
- It would be nice to have two processes, one Lisp and the other VI.
- There would be a function (like VIL) in Franz that would start up
- a VI process if there wasn't one and if there was a VI process just
- goto it. When the student is finished editing the file he/she would
- hit a key that would save out the file and return to Lisp (without
- killing the VI process). I believe that Gosling Emacs had something
- like this, only more sophisticated.
-
- My questions. Has anyone done this for Franz & VI? Would this help
- the load average on a VAX? If no one has done it, would it be difficult
- to do?
- -Thanks, David
