Umm,

I like gnuwin, but was shocked to find that it appears to have
no editor, not even vi.

There is a vi that comes with ( I think ) one of the Microsoft CD's
but this version is a DOS version that doesn't understand the unix
"/" file paths, etc, and it only runs on /dev/conin and not, say,
/dev/tty1

Is there a version of vi that will work properly with Gnuwin?

Thanks and Regards


Robert
