Your definition of "from way back"
seems somewhat limited... by the
way, did you realize that VMS is still a supported OS, more than
thirty years after its introduction?
Not only supported, but still under very active development!
Further, your reluctance to use
non-screen-oriented editors is,
shall we say, 'bad juju' in this community. While I certainly prefer
a screen editor such as vi (and not such as EMACS), I can easily do
ed or TECO as needed, because I MUST in order to work with truly
vintage systems. -- Ian
Please cut the guy some slack, Ian. The OP was Kirn, who is 19.
His idea of "way back" is pretty different from yours or mine.
