This software was originally derived from software contributed to
|
|
|
|
|
the University of California, Berkeley by Steve Kirkendall, the
|
|
|
|
|
author of the vi clone elvis. Without his work, this work would
|
|
|
|
|
have been far more difficult.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
IEEE POSIX 1003.2 style regular expression support is courtesy of
|
|
|
|
|
Henry Spencer, for which I am *very* grateful.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Elan Amir did the original 4BSD curses work that made it possible
|
|
|
|
|
to support a full-screen editor using curses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
George Neville-Neil added the Tcl interpreter, and the initial
|
|
|
|
|
interpreter design was his.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sven Verdoolaege added the Perl interpreter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rob Mayoff provided the original Cscope support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Many, many people suggested enhancements, and provided bug reports and
|
|
|
|
|
testing, far too many to individually thank.

|
|
|
|
o From the original vi acknowledgements, by William Joy and Mark Horton:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bruce Englar encouraged the early development of this display
|
|
|
|
|
editor. Peter Kessler helped bring sanity to version 2's
|
|
|
|
|
command layout. Bill Joy wrote versions 1 and 2.0 through 2.7,
|
|
|
|
|
and created the framework that users see in the present editor.
|
|
|
|
|
Mark Horton added macros and other features and made the editor
|
|
|
|
|
work on a large number of terminals and Unix systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o And...
|
|
|
|
|
The financial support of UUNET Communications Services is gratefully
|
|
|
|
|
acknowledged.
