In addition to the usual goodies, I particularly want an editor that's smart enough to disk-swap automatically, since my files tend to be rather large. I am NOT interested in paying extra for a formatter or word processor. Three competitors seem to have received good reviews (hearsay): VEDIT from CompuView Products, PMATE from Lifeboat Assoc., and EMACS (perhaps in its MINCE incarnation) from some firm in the Boston area whose name I forget. Does anyone have any firsthand experience with these or other editors? I'd be grateful for any advice/reports. Arny Rosenberg Duke Computer Science duke!alr (919)684-3048
