How to put comments in nroff/tro (actually about vi)

Tue Aug 14 05:48:31 AEST 1984

Speaking of ex/vi, the current issue of Unix/world has a very interesting
interview with Bill Joy and one of the things related is how he was
putting all kinds of wonderful things into vi like windows but their
new vax didn't have a tape drive, backups weren't done, and all the new
code got "scrunched" when the machine crashed. He was so discouraged
by this he gave up, write the documentation, and hasn't touched it since.

It sort of sounds like Mark Horton is responsible for much of the
success of vi, actually.
