Re: Please vote for Syntax check in /FREE!

vi is a "visual editor". A giant improvement over the earlier editors in wich you needed to write something like "insert after line N .xxxx" and you needed to remeber the line numbers from the last time you tiped the file.

It takes some practice to use vi, but once you know the comands it is quite powerfull and efficient. You can acomplish a lot in litle time, usualy faster than using more sofisticated editors.

I like vi... but then I like SEU, too.

In fact, if IBM ever finally withdraws support for SEU (which would upset
me quite a lot) I will use vi for my RPG source. I already use it for C,
C++, perl, Java, etc.
