=====================================================================
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 includes UNIX vi's most powerful features, including --
+ Full-Function Cursor Motions (Character, Word, Line, Sentence, etc.)
+ Append, Insert, Replace, Join, Yank, Delete, and Change Text
+ Repeat Last Text-Change, Undo Last Text-Change
+ Forward/Reverse Text Search with Meta Characters
+ Find Character Function, Find Matching () {} Function
+ Block or Global Text Substitutions with Meta Characters
+ Named Line Numbers and Text Buffers
+ Map and Abbreviation Macro Functions to Speed Your Typing
+ Wrap-Margin Option for Automatic Carriage Returns
+ Line-Number Option for Automatically Numbered Lines
+ Autoindent Option, Line-Centering, and Bulk Case Conversion Commands
+ EXRC Initializer File Option for Automatic Option Setting
+ Read/Append Files to Buffer
+ Edit New File (Without Reloading Program)
+ Escape to MS-DOS
+ Built-In Paragraph Formatting Functions
+ Easy screen color control
New since the previous version (5.7) are the following --
+ 43/50-line capability for EGA/VGA machines
+ On-line help
+ Improved macro capabilities, including full map, map!, and abbrev
+ Extended and faster regular expression matching
+ Additional :ex commands, including :e #
+ Tags capability
+ Redefinable cursor-control keys
+ Register commands @x and @@
+ Video control via direct Video-RAM or BIOS routines
+ Improved cursor appearance (clean underscore or box on all machines)
+ U, ctrl-^, [[, ]], and other vi commands added
+ Full 8-bit ASCII character support (non-English, line-drawing, etc.)
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 long (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.
The commercial product, which lists at $195.00, has been in use for over
two years as the standard DOS text editor in a 2000-person software
development organization in a major research and engineering company.
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,
