Hello everyone.  Someone asked a little while ago about a suckless pager
and I mentioned using vipe of moreutils to use your favorite editor as a
pager.  I noticed that when I was using vipe it was using several
megabytes (it is written in Perl) so I wrote a program in Bourne shell
that is much smaller in RAM usage.  It has the -v (view only) option to
not produce any output so it can truly be used as a pager.  It can be
found at https://github.com/GReagle/edit-pipe/blob/master/edit-pipe.  I
would love any feedback about making it better, more correct, more
portable, etc.  Thanks for your attention.
