VILE, TOOLS, VI-LIKE-EMACS text editor
vile is a text editor which is extremely compatible with vi in terms of
"finger feel".  In addition, it has extended capabilities in many areas,
notably multi-file editing and viewing, key rebinding, and real X window
system support.

Version 5.4 appeared on the second OpenVms Freeware CDROM.  Version 6.1,
which appeared on the third Freeware CDROM upgraded the source to ANSI C
(from extended C).

Version 8.2 (on the 4th CDROM) added support for user-definable modes and
makes procedures executable just like the builtin commands.  The
minibuffer (aka the ex command line) is editable with vi-style commands.

Version 9.2 (this version) has mostly focused on syntax highlighting
(not yet ported to VMS).  However, as usual, there are lots of bug fixes.

The authors of vile are Tom Dickey (current maintainer), Paul Fox, Kevin
Buettner and Rick Sladkey.
