It makes sense that it would be the one Andrew wrote. My recollection is that se was the result of Not Invented Here. There was lots of demand for vi in the internal USG version of UNIX, and it was present in exptools, but not the official distribution of UNIX. (Lots of demand for emacs, too, also in exptools.) Rather than adopt one of them, se was written. I think it appeared about UNIX 4.2. My UNIX 5.0 manual also has vi(1). Once vi was installed, demand for se went away. I'm not sure when it was dropped, but it's not in my SVID.     Mary Ann On 3/29/22 07:42, Andrew Hume wrote: > alas, no. > it should have been on some official source tapes, tho. > it was part of some office automation set of software; > maybe that was mentioned in the tapes. > > i too remember nothing about it. outside of doing it > because management wanted it, i never optionally used it. > >> On Mar 29, 2022, at 7:35 AM, arnold@skeeve.com wrote: >> >> Cool!
