Dearest Borik, you should know that various Lisps (scheme, e-lisp, etc.) are interpreted really really slow, and S-Lang is interpreted faster. As far as I know, jed can do basically the same things emacs can. It's still slower than vi, because vi doesn't make 8 system calls per keystroke (as emacs does). And about jed being faster because it's supposed to be a faster emacs clone -- let's call emacs a faster ed clone and see how it works ;) > Always truly yours, > borik I love you too, bro.
