It's now my preferred flavor of vi on both Unix (*BSD and Linux) and on Windows. Their site includes Windows binaries. It supports color syntax highlighting, multiple windows, multiple undo/redo, and works with cscope as a few of it's optional enhancements. Other than the multiple redo/undo, I'm unaware of any significant differences between pure vi and vim. Pure vi uses 'u' to undo and 'u' again to redo for a single level undo. VIM uses 'u' to undo and '^r' to redo and you can undo and redo multiple levels. > -- > Corinna Vinschen > Cygwin Developer > Cygnus Solutions, a Red Hat company Mike -- Michael H.
