I have not used vi

for a very long time. The vi EMACS war

is over but others have won. I was looking for a tiny editor which can be easily adapted and embedded into a (Forth) system. But for me vi is better suited for restricted (embedded) systems.

To see a screen full with ~ at the beginning of the lines makes me happy.

I was looking for a tiny editor which can be easily adapted and embedded into a (Forth) system. The vi EMACS war

is over but others have won. For me vi is better suited for restricted (embedded) systems. I have not used vi

for a very long time, but to see a screen full with ~ at the beginning of the lines makes me feel comming home.

This vi has its origin from BusyBox tiny vi. But there are some differences:

The program is resident. The text buffer and other buffers too. You can leave the program without saving, do some work on the command line and go back to vi and continue the edit task.
