Although I'd rather use Emacs for anything serious, I don't have it installed everywhere either: vi or ee do have size advantages, you're certainly right. However, the ChangeLog format is pretty simple, no reason you couldn't emulate it by hand. Entries look like: 2003-05-30 Charles Swiger * added Mersenne Twister RNG in place of srandom() * used cproto to convert old K&R C code to ANSI with prototypes, which fixed a program hang in the dust accretion process ...but emacs does a good job of autoindenting new entries for you, and wrapping the text, etc. -- -Chuck
