vi Information & Resources

---

I use the vi (pronounced "vee-eye") text editor when working on Unix systems. After trying pico and emacs, I settled on vi in 1990 as a good compromise between features, speed, and learning curve. Since then I've found my choice to have been reasonable in terms of my original criteria. I present here a brief introduction to the characteristics of vi as well as links to other vi resources on the web, including freeware, shareware, and commercial vi software for use on Unix, Windows, DOS, Macintosh, and other systems. --Kent Nassen
