Unfortunately, the version that I have (3.6) runs very slowly. It looks to me as if the speed could be improved by rearranging the overlays to take advantage of the fact that I only care about vi. This may also require some hacking of the code to get the new overlays to fit: one possibility would be to get rid of code that handles smart terminals, since I don't have any. Has anyone had success in speeding up vi to run on an overlayed, non-separate i&d machine? If so, I would be very interested in the details. Ned Danieley duke!ndd
