New Release
Brief Summary: Oak Hill Vi (TM) is a professional-grade
version of "vi", the standard UNIX (AT&T trademark)
full-screen text editor. Includes virtually all vi features,
plus built-in paragraph formatting, special laptop features,
and more. Comprehensive manual and utilities are included.
Thirty-day free trial permitted. Registration fee $60. By
Oak Hill Software Inc, member, ASP. Version 5.7A, Release 1.
"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, plus
some added convenience features, including --
+ Full-Function Cursor Motions (Char, Word, Sentence, etc.)
+ Append, Insert, Replace, Join, Yank, Delete, 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, 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.
Hardware Requirements: Any IBM compatible computer
with 256K RAM,
Other Requirements: MS-DOS 2.x or higher
