While I am learning vim, I have used nano (a pico clone) a few times and I agree it is a better newbie editor. But I would recommend vi over emacs for a future sysadmin, since you're never going to fit emacs on a bare floppy, let alone Tom's Root Boot. Once learned, you can be productive in either, but if the iron won't boot, you'd better be able to use vi (or maybe nano / pico / joe).

That's the initial "definition." But in the same way, check out the Epistle Dedicatory in any King James Bible published in England: "To the most High and Might Prince, JAMES. Great and manifold were the blessings, most dread Soverign, which were bestowed...."

The actions they took do not qualify as subsection a) and as a commercial product they do not qualify under subsection c). Their secretiveness does not allow us to interpret their actions as fulfilling subsection b). Perhaps they took MS's word that it was all MS IP and didn't need any GPL handling? Ross
IIRC, the reason for USENET style news groups was that the bandwidth precluded the flashing, animated www style information enhancements we have come to expect today.
er, I think the 413 bytes is because it's just a link to the editor inside BASIC. And I actually used edlin when I needed to edit files longer than memory on the early DOS computers. Later I adapted a version of XEdit for DOS (from Relay Gold) to work from either a 5 1/4 or 3 1/2 floppy and I carried them around with me. But I'll still remember edlin fondly. Now that I'm learning vim (also on DOS) I guess the:ex editor may take me back to those early days of yester-year.
The analogies are a little hard here, because MS is also an OS company. But Adobe, for example, provides free viewers for several OS's just to promote their composition product. There is a PDF viewer for X-Window, but I'm not sure if it is provided by Adobe or is from the Open&FSF people.
Still, the MS viewers MAY work under WINE, I haven't checked. But developing a new viewer for Linux or *BSD could be problematic. Under some interpretations of the new Millenium Digital Copyright Act (?) this could be considered reverse engineering and actionable, unless MS were to take a kindly view of actions which tend to encourage the use of non-MS OS's.
Using Star-Office to read a memo from the School District may be a bit much, though.

IIRC there was a student org which PUBLISHED the tests for the Freshman set of courses for the last several (3, 4, ?) years. In particular, the Chem tests were quite helpful because there weren't THAT many fundamentally different questions they could ask. The numbers could be slightly different, but the method of solution was the same. Ahh, that big ACCO-Press binder.

It's actually "All yuor base are belong..." not "All your base...".
