Editors other than vi

[mitchymartell]

Is the Kedit editor available for AIX ?

If not Kedit, is there a similar editor ?

- thank you

The all singing all dancing emacs is available for AIX, check out

emacs might be a bit overkill, depending on what you're doing.

there's lots of pre-compiled aix software at:

http://www.bull.de/pub/

- several X editors are listed.

pine includes a nice editor, pico.

i really like joe, from ftp://ftp.std.com/src/editors

Real women, too ;-)

In fact, I still have the .exrc file in my "webmaster" account set up so I can use it as an HTML editor. I can still produce HTML code faster using vi than with any of those wysiwyg, point-and-click, "you actually have to take your hands off the keyboard" HTML editors.

Viva vi!

Ok, good point. Let me amend that to "Real UNIX people us vi."

Real men use cat, sed, and dd.
I hope it works...
Unix was made by and for smart people.
