Be careful of the hog factor on editors. The speed of the user and the use of macros can allow use of a lot of CPU in a short time. This might make an argument for an editor which didn't have macros or repeated command, since it would slow the user. You sometimes see a high hog factor on vi jobs doing a lot of global replace. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs | seismo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
