It was an excellent editor (I have to admit that despite being a vi bigot :-) I think Crisp is a Brief clone. It used to be distributed through ftp sites, but I think it has gone commercial. The company's name is Vital, Inc. (I think they're in Plano, Texas), if I'm not mistaken. I've seen Crisp on Solaris and HP. I don't know if they distribute source anymore. t. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Porczyk * tporczyk@netcom.com * San Jose, California GIT/ED d++$(!d) s++:++ a?
