[SunHELP] X editors

[Bob Kryger]

I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I think I understand what your 
hearing...  It's an extension of the religious issues. I will put mine 
aside to try to help.

I would recommend vim (gvim) which can be found compiled for Solaris. I'll 
bet there are binaries out there too. Yes, it is a vi derivative, but it 
the gvim version has a nice gui interface. (as does emacs)

There are many out there that will work on solaris, but you might have to 
compile them. Try looking at the Linux web sites. I understand that joe is 
a goo editor.

My question is this. If vi or emacs are not suitable ask them to describe 
what they are looking for. I'd be interested to hear too.

Good Luck
Bob
