This is cool!  I'm still gathering software for a Apple IIc.

Wasn't there some connection from the Amiga to VI (developed early on Amiga and ported to xnix)?  Maybe I'm thinking of Worker.

yes vim was first released on the amiga:

it's probably safe to say its the most widely used vi clone

Cool - no doubt.

Can we play a game in identifying the screenshots for each platform?

I usually do a quick install of Emacs, but barring that nano is usually available.  I'm an anything but vi guy....

Nano? Pico? Emacs? NAWWW, forget them, use the other great editor developed for the Amiga first:

http://ne.dsi.unimi.it/

Inspired by TurboText, ne (Nice Editor) is the text mode editor I use. Usually you have to compile it, but I have had no problems on SGI Irix or any Linux. The only place I haven't gotten the latest versions to compile is on the Amiga! There is an ancient binary version on Aminet, and even that one is cool because you can telnet in to an Amiga and use an editor with drop-down menus.

If anyone is looking for a project, please try to get the latest ne version to compile on an Amiga.

You must be thinking of pine.

Pico is a cool little full screen text editor, along with nano and whatever other clones there happen to be.

Pine Composer

Nano is basically a clone that sits better with the GNU license.
