Don?t fret, once OpenVMS v9.0 is released, on

:-) Well, in the spirit of further non-participation let me (a die hard
unix zealot) say that I can't wait to see VMS ported to x86-64. I think
VMS is cool. I've been learning about it lately. It has some great
features. Oh, and while I?m at it, both vi and emacs suck. Give
me TPU! :-)
Heh, I'm one of the few Unix guys that might be inclined to agree. I can
use both. However, I got used to Wordstar, then the IDE in Borland
products (which is similar to Wordstar). So, my favorite editor is "joe"
not Vi or Emacs, but TEHO. For me, using an editor is about familiarity,
even if something takes more keystrokes etc... I find it odd that people
actually argue about editors, but that's just a difference in value
system.
Okay, I?m impressed! Someone that not only knows about my favorite UNIX text editor, but
uses it! The first tool I install on any UNIX system, if it doesn?t have it, is ?joe?.
