Vigor (pronouced like "Igor", Dr. Frankenstein's assistant), the popular Unix editor vi with the addition of the Vigor Assistant, has arrived.
In response to a recent User Friendly comic strip, I've written a Vigor plugin for XMMS. Now you can have Vigor dance and nag you while you work!
Visit the Vigor SourceForge page to download it, or if you don't have XMMS, you can check out the movie.
I've transferred Vigor development to SourceForge. I hope to use its resources to help me put out future improvements.
For some deranged reason, Andy Kahn decided to port Vigor from its current nvi framework to Vim. I haven't played with it yet, but from what I hear, it's worth checking it out, particularly if you're a Vim fan.
Based on the User Friendly comic strip storyline from 4 January to 14 January, Vigor brings all the features of traditional Unix vi, plus the friendly and helpful Vigor Assistant. (If you aren't familiar with User Friendly the Comic Strip, quit bothering with Vigor and go out and look there first. It's well worth the trip! Don't worry, we'll wait.)
Enter the world of Vigor! Come, join us, watch the paperclip, don't be afraid... *cough* Sorry, where was I?
The most frequent request I've had since releasing Vigor recently is for screenshots. I've made a separate page with a few for those who don't have the time or tools to compile Vigor; enjoy!
Tom Mulder created the Vigor logo at the top of the page, and the logo on the screenshots page as well. Thanks, Tom!
And, if you just can't get enough paperclip action (you sick puppy you), svo (aka Viacheslav Slavinsky) has created a brief Vigor MPEG, an excellent bit of artwork. For those who can't see view MPEGs, he has also created some stills: still 1 and still 2. Yay, svo!
(Note: If I put your name on this page, I probably didn't include the email addresses, because I don't want spammers to pick it up. If you don't mind, let me know and I'll add your email address.)
(Note: This link previously pointed to red-bean.com, but I've moved Vigor to sourceForge now.)
