- Well, Pascal was my first formal language I learned in college. (lucky
- me) Then LISP, Algol 68, and TI 980-A assembly. Then it was PC Basic
- and Z80 and 8086. And, I find it much easier, and a lot more productive
- to do major edits on PC Brief and swap back quickly to Vax or IBM 370
- with the file. Every "mainframe" editor I have encountered sucks donkey fumes.
- (Incidentally, I've never seen or heard of Brief running under VMS)
- (Before Brief, I though WordStar was best editor for me, but then, I simply
- was totally uninformed and narrow minded)
