This is off-topic, but I ran into vim (Vi improved) while searching for a decent editor for my DVIview project. My criteria is (always) *good* syntax hi-lighting. Well, this beast does it all, and it is available for nearly every os, and it's free. What striked me the most was the specification (look at the .vim files in the syntax directory), you can do a lot of stuff here. When editing html for instance, it even bolds the text inside tags (also italics in , etc.). It does a good job for TeX, and it even has decent LaTeX support. Since I use context, I'll create the context higlighting. Well, it seems I'm going to like linux despite the many things that are *not* obvious about unix. Gilbert.
