They say "Money is the root of all evil," but they're wrong.


Vi is the root of evil. "Evil" is a word constructed from the prefix
"e-", the suffix "-l" and the root "Vi".

Definitely.

Anyone who codes C, Perl, VB or HTML in a Windows text (or hex) -based
environment, really should look into UltraEdit, if nothing else, for its MDI &
syntax highlighting.

We use UE *exclusively* on the BKK website, as well as Vix's three pagan
websites, and we use it at work for SQL, PL/SQL & Perl scripting.
