Hi Pete,
Everyone should just learn ed(1). :-)
ed? They should learn how to edit a text file using assembly
Never mind Ed Vi Assemblers yes all very fancyfull
My ed suggestion wasn't a joke. It's probably the smallest editor to install. It has a long pedigree, it's in POSIX, and many know parts of it simply through knowing sed or vi. I use it every day for quick small edits, especially when the context of what I want to do is on the screen and would be lost by starting a full-screen editor.
joe far easier wordstar commands
Few know the non-Unix Wordstar now. -- Cheers, Ralph.
