Add to this list Data General AViiON running DG/UX 4.30 (X windows of any size)
Two other nits:
o ~ = home directory or $HOME environment variable ie: ":r ~/text"
results in a file called "~/text" to be read (or not 8-) instead
of reading from the home directory of the user.
o ^U will not erase input in 'ex' mode ie: "/fred^Ujoe" looks for a
string with fred^Ujoe in it instead of being interpreted as
"fred OOPS, I MEAN joe"
Other than these little nits, I LOVE it. Very good job!
