Hi everyone,
A few days ago I asked where I could find the editor "vig" which is similar
to "vi" but with the extension of writing characters beyond US-ASCII.
I'd like to thank Birger A. Wathne (Birger.Wathne@vest.sdata.no) and
James Rae (rae@decux.nvg.com) for their answers.
James Rae gave me the name of a host where I actually found vig.The host is
(according to the archie server):
Host cac.washington.edu (140.142.100.1)

Birger A. Wathne suggested a clever way to overcome the problem of not finding
"vig". The solution is to set the environment right so that the "vi" editor
can be used. The commands are:
% stty cs8
% setenv LC_CTYPE iso_8859_1
% vi
Then, by using the 'Compose-key' chart Sun supplies with the keyboard, anyone
can write any ISO 8859/1 character inside "vi".(I must say this is my
favorite solution.)
In the same mail to the list I was asking informations about the sources of
the filter "grk" or any filter that makes the writing of greek characters
available from a common keyboard, but I didn't get any answers (still hoping).
Thanks again
