- 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
- + 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
-
- 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,
- excerpted from the manual, below.
