- =====================================================================
-
- ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTIVE MATERIAL:
-
- "Vi" is the standard full-screen visual text editor used in UNIX systems
- (UNIX is an AT&T trademark). With Oak Hill Vi (TM) you can run a
- powerful vi-like editor directly on any IBM or compatible personal
- computer.
-

-

-
- Oak Hill Vi is especially effective on laptop computers. Because it does
- all editing in in-core buffers, Oak Hill Vi is especially fast and compact.
- It also minimizes RAM-disk usage and the noise, delay, and battery
- consumption of floppy disk drive operation. The program can edit files
- over 250,000 characters in length (more than 100 typed pages) depending on
- available memory, and special utilities are provided for breaking still
- larger files into convenient subfiles. It even has an optional "visual
- beep" to replace the usual audible one, making Oak Hill Vi easy to use in
- meetings without disturbing others.
-
- Except for a "greeting" screen that explains shareware registration
- procedures, Oak Hill Vi is exactly the same as a "shrink-wrap"
- commercially sold, professional vi text editor by Oak Hill Software,
- Inc. With Oak Hill Vi, you can try the same editor free for 30
- days, and pay only $60 to register should you decide to continue
- using it. Details appear in the Oak Hill Vi user's manual and in
- the license agreement, excerpted from the manual, below.
