>From the keyboard of chet at po.CWRU.Edu:
:It was not `written small' like sh.  It actually uses the C library.
:It does not have some of the built-in size limits of sh.  The line
:editing code takes up a tremendous amount of space.

Plus, last time I checked, the vi mode was vastly inferior to ksh's.
I know I should go play with it more so I can supply precise 
objections to the developers, who've always seemed quite amenable
to input.  Someday...

"Hey, did you hear Stallman has replaced /vmunix with /vmunix.el?  Now
 he can finally have the whole O/S built-in to his editor like he
 always wanted!" --me (Tom Christiansen <tchrist at convex.com>)
