Well, I use QEDIT on our production server, but the hot recovery 
box I am working on is definitely a low budget affair and an 
additional licence is not in the cards.  In a disaster situation 
there is a provision to get QEDIT running for ten days while the 
licence is transferred but it hardly makes sense to expend that 
option during setup of the recovery machine.

I actually would prefer to use vi or vim on the HP3000 because that 
is what I use on all of our Linux boxes.  However, I am having no 
end of trouble getting files edited in vi to be properly recognized 
in the MPEiX namespace. SYSSTART.PUB and UDC files are the most 
bothersome to date but I am sure that is only for want of 
opportunity to discover all the other areas that have similar 
difficulties.

Regards,
Jim
