I still use VECCE on our VAX and Alpha VMS systems as my editor of choice, even though I am now also tri-lingual with VI and EMACS. This is the Lattice Logic dervitive which added normal VMS command line parsing to Hamish's version. I think I have the Imp source of it somewhere, although have not needed it in the last 12 years since leaving Lattice Logic! There is a lot to be said for the binary compatibility of the VMS systems from VAX to Alpha, and the Sun systems from Solaris 1 to Solaris 2! Everyone in my department at Compugraphics uses VECCE with some of the "magic spells" which I have documented to do things like tailing space deletion, or trailing CR deletion when files have been FTP'ed to us in the wrong modes. The extensions to do arithmetic on numbers are partiularly useful when editing job set up files. (And I often write Imp programs for VMS or Solaris too, which I can still do faster, and they are more efficient that my equivalent C programs!) best regards Gordon Hughes [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
