Nope. I've been looking at the code for VI recently having dispaired at
the crummy editor supplied on the 32016 comprocessor, and it's a BIG project
at least 20000 lines of C.
Maybe a project to write a small _MINIMAL_ editor is in order......
I started one called Nano-Emacs a year or so ago but didn't even get as far
as garbage collection :(
Any 3rd year CompScis out there looking for an end-of-year project???????

Chris.
