Newbie looks for Vi editor to learn while at PC instead of UNIX

Newbie looks for Vi editor to learn while at PC instead of UNIX

Post by Greg Zubk » Tue, 18 Jul 1995 04:00:00



I am learning UNIX.    One of the things I need is to learn Vi editor.
Apparently it is not something easy to do.  My problem is I do not
have enough time to play while I am at UNIX, but I do during the day
write code in C and a lot of other things while using plain DOS EDIT.
If instead of that I can switch and start using Vi on my PC it would
be ideal for me.

What I am trying to say is that it is very expensive and costly to
learn Vi for me while doing it at UNIX. I really have a limited time
now on UNIX.

Maybe there is a PC version of Vi, so I can do it on PC.

Please let me know by E-Mail at


Thanks , Greg Zubkis

Your best bet would be to get an internet account and then telnet to the location where you use UNIX.
