Having a mips emulator run instead of the expected grungy editor is better than the program a version of SYSTEM V I once used would run. If you executed `iv' instead of `vi' you got the `initialize volume' command! (Maybe rob doesn't care for discussions of BSD editor on 9fans.) Should we change the topic to `Why VMS was better than UNIX because the C++ was better than C because of where you put the braces since ford is better than chevrolet, anyway, and high wing monoplanes are better than low wing ones bacause you can see the ground better. Did I leave anything out? Brantley
