I am now working on paring the code down to an acceptable subset (globbing instead of regex, elimination of fluffy, unused vi featuers). I am also thinking long and hard about memory allocation. The biggest problem with vi is modes. You can't configure vedit (for example) to look like vi, because vedit wants a META key before each and every command mode keystroke. Otherwise your're in insert (or change) mode. A final alternative (which I encourage some young, rambunctious hacker) is to take the source of, say vdo, and vee-eye-atize it. Any takers? -Mitch -Mitchell F. Wyle Institut fuer Informationssysteme wyle@inf.ethz.ch ETH Zentrum / 8092 Zurich, Switzerland +41 1 256 5237
