vi vs emacs in a student environment

[P. Ashton]

We are in the middle of deciding which editor to teach students next
year, and are looking at vi and emacs. We have a couple of questions

(i) we have heard emacs is somewhat resource hungry. What experiences do
people have with students using emacs with regard to resource use
(environment GNU emacs on a Vax 11/750 running 4.3BSD, and on sun 3/50s
and 3/60s).

(ii) is vi available for VMS (if so what are the details)?

Please reply by email - I will post a summary.

Paul Ashton.
