Yeah, I know it doesn't work in real life. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats]. [link\|http://DocHope.com\|http://DocHope.com]

Post #264,494 by broomberg 8/10/06 7:15:49 PM Reply	Wasn't so bad. I worked for a company called Telexpress. They has a terminal emulater called Teleterm. The program was table driven, and allowed you to create new terminal definitions. A customer might buy a canned system from a vertical market vendor that included a server (Unix, Pick, Vax, etc) and some terminals. The terminal could be ANYTHING. In those days, new ones were popping up all the time. They would want to hook up their PCs (days of original PC and XT) to the system. So they would send us a terminal and the manual. I would review the manual and create a termcap entry for the terminal if it did not exist. I would then reverse that and create the table entries that our software would use to create a new terminal. Was a great education. I owe them a lot for it.

Post #264,522 by pwhysall 8/11/06 3:01:08 AM Reply	10K lines? Pshaw. Allow me to gloat/whimper at the time I had to edit a 3-million-line file. I'll also slide in some VMS advocacy. It was a (very) large DXF, and I used the VMS editor, which is cunningly called "edit" and which has that "I was written by real programmers, me" feel about it. It never crashes. It never accidentally fucks you up. The box (1GHz 21264 with 2GB RAM and "lots" of disk) didn't even blink when I went from one end of the file to the other - this is always a good test to see if the programmer really wants you to edit Very Big Files with their editor. Didn't take long to save it, either. And I got a free version. And if you "diff/par somefile.dxf" without specifying the version number it automatically assumes you mean this version against the previous version, which is of course what you wanted. And you can do the diff right there in the editor. VMS pwnz j00. But you knew that.

I just didn't know what you said to mean that... jb4 "So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing. I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't." — Stephen Colbert, at the White House Correspondent's Dinner 29Apr06

Is vim the windows version of vi? - (Nightowl) - (8) - Aug. 11, 2006, 02:23:29 PM EDT

Nope, 'vim' is 'vi, improved' - (drewk) - (7) - Aug. 11, 2006, 02:35:10 PM EDT

I seem to have both kinds - (Nightowl) - (6) - Aug. 11, 2006, 02:50:41 PM EDT

If it has multiple levels of 'undo' it's probably vim -NT - (drewk) - (5) - Aug. 11, 2006, 02:55:26 PM EDT

Hmmm I only know of one undo command. - (Nightowl) - (4) - Aug. 11, 2006, 03:08:10 PM EDT

What's the command you use to start it? - (jake123) - (3) - Aug. 11, 2006, 07:37:30 PM EDT

vi :) - (Nightowl) - (2) - Aug. 12, 2006, 12:08:55 PM EDT

No idea - (broomberg) - (19) - Aug. 10, 2006, 01:44:20 PM EDT
