"Received the software and manuals today and just
wanted to reiterate how pleased I am with everything. The manuals are first rate
(Microsoft could learn something here) and the software is small, elegant and powerful.
Everything should be written this well! What an absolutely wonderful and professional
company!"
Greg C. McNichol, Chicago, IL
"VEDIT is, still, the most profitable, most productive,
piece of software I have ever purchased."
Steven Mitchell, Middlebury, IN
"The essential features I like and have missed with
other editors are: VEDIT is fast, allows hex editing with split screen for hex and ASCII,
allows editing of all characters (including ASCII-Null), allows arbitrarily long lines."
Anton Wessel, Munich, Germany
"I've enjoyed using your VEDIT for many purposes since the late 80's. It's
always been one of those programs that sets standards for performance,
usefulness and the ability to adapt it to many needs. Needless to say, if
Microsoft or any of the other elephant size program developers out there could
program half as well as Greenview, we all could work more efficiently."
Bruce Faierson, Deerfield, IL
"You guys have done an outstanding job with the new
version. The Windows version blows me away with it's speed - its unreal for such a
powerful program! "
Samuel Vincent, Hyde Park, PA
"I love VEDIT. All those little C programs I used to
write to chew up one file and put it in another format I now use your cool macro language
to do. I especially enjoy the faster-than-light Search and Replace."
Greg Humenik, E. Lansing, MI
"VEDIT customer support is defined by one word --
integrity. You provide the best customer support I have experienced in over 20
years of using a personal computer."
Al Clark, Santa Clara, CA
"I have used VEDIT since early 1990's. I have gone from programmer
(Cobol and C), to DBA (SQL), to UNIX (shell scripts) to my current job which
requires VBA and large text file editing. I have always enjoyed your product
and find it the most useful of all the editors I have seen."
Al Cattani, North Brunswick, NJ
"I will give up Vedit when you can pry my cold, dead fingers from
it. It's the LAST program I'll give up. If you put a gun to my head and tell
me to use Word instead of WordPerfect, I'll moan and groan about it into the
next century. But if you put a gun to my head and tell me not to use VEDIT,
I'll tell you to go ahead, pull the trigger. To paraphrase an NRA bumper
sticker I once saw, "My wife, yes. My dog, maybe. VEDIT, never!"
Dean Randall, Columbia, MD
"Not to sound gushy about it, but VEDIT is the only
tool that I've hung on to for years - compilers, assemblers, and utilities come and go,
but I would quit programming if I had to give up VEDIT. Really. Buy some tattoo needles,
load up the Harley and scrape out a living at biker swap meets. Anything but programming
without VEDIT."
Carl Haddick, Mexia, TX
"Thank you for taking the time to personally answer the
message. The quality of VEDIT over the past 15 years demonstrates the care that you have
for your product."
Steve Weir, Petaluma, CA
"I found VEDIT when I was searching on the web for an ascii editor
that would edit every CNC program that we have (over 5000 of them) without
having to open each one. I needed to do a search and replace on the first line
of each program. I have been using it ever since for all my CNC editing tasks.
I especially appreciate the powerful macro features which have allowed me to
do every task that I was using three other editors to do before."
Dewayne Cheramie, Parker Hannifin Corporation
"I am very satisfied with your product, and find it very easy to
utilize its features. I want to thank your company for making my job of Cobol
programming easier."
Jon Sheetz, Northern Illinois University
"The new version 5.20 added just the right features, feels the
same, and seemed to fix the only (minor) bug I was able to find in 5.16. I
have an extensive macro collection for converting files and NOTHING broke
after installing the new version. Customer service is quick, accurate, and
rarely needed. You should sell your software development strategy and
management techniques to the companies I work for."
Glen Henry, Cary, NC
"I've been a happy VEDIT user since 1983. Since then, I figure
VEDIT has saved me several thousand hours of editing time. In fact, I'd
venture that with all the features of VEDIT, it has made me about twice as
productive in editing C programs as some other programmers using other
editors.
Normally I don't send out testimonials, but recently I had an experience
that I thought you'd enjoy hearing about. A couple of people where I work had
a 650 MB ASCII file from which they had to extract some data. They were
panicked because they had to respond to a client with the information that
same day. They had tried to open the file using Microsoft Word, and after four
hours, it still hadn't opened the file. Someone who knew I used VEDIT referred
them to me. I used VEDIT and within about five minutes had extracted the
information they were looking for. Thanks for an excellent product!"
Bob Kern, Buffalo Grove, IL
"My surprise turned to delight when I installed the
Windows version (under Win95) and found that it was the only DOS emigrant program I have
ever used where the Windows version was actually better and faster than the DOS version! I
don't know how you did it, but I congratulate you. Your company is one of the only ones I
have dealt with over the past fifteen years which has consistently given great value for
my money. Now that I, and not a large corporation, pay for my software, that is very
important. I have never had a question that you have not answered to my satisfaction. Very
best wishes for many more years of success with your fine products!"
Michael H. Ostrowsky,R.Ph, Riverton, UT
"I'm continually astonished at how promptly responsive
and helpful you are. Many thanks!"
Bill Ingram, Ann Arbor, MI
"The VEDIT search function proved indispensable for sifting through
3million lines of trace to find the information I needed to resolve
aparticularly difficult problem."
Rayo Goforth, Eugene OR
"VEDIT PLUS really makes Brief (or any other editors,
for that matter) redundant! It is a total joy to work with and the menu system makes it
very easy to handle. A great job, THANKS!!"
Stefan Elf, Skelleftea, Sweden
"VEDIT is also like my Swiss army knife, helping out in
unexpected situations like plucking out and weaving together damaged WordPerfect files
from salvaged clusters from a floppy disk."
Reed Darsey, Bayou La Batre, LA
"I have been delighted to find VEDIT PLUS the best
general purpose editor that I have ever experienced. Indeed, it is as though the best
features of all other editors have been put together in a single package."
Philip Hughes, Ann Arbor, MI
"I have already become "addicted" to VEDIT
5.0. I think you did an outstanding job to transform a former DOS-program to an almost
perfect Windows'95 program. I am also very thankful that you did not have to change the
macro language..."
Hans W. Lehmann, Hedingen, Switzerland
"Just wanted to pass on a note of thanks for VEDIT
Version 5.0. I just received it today and it's great! I have been a registered user for
quite a few years."
Paul Roskos, Bayonne, NJ
"I just received your shipment, and I am very much
impressed by your excellent product. This is the best windows program I ever seen! And I
appreciate the identical DOS version."
Werner Dappen, Glendale, CA
"Thank you for coming through for me on the upgrade! I
appreciate doing business with a company which is responsive to the needs of the
customers..... Please, keep up the good work!"
R. Getsla, Silverdale, WA
"I would like to wish you and your company all the best
and I look forward to future transactions with yourselves kind regards."
Al Lovett. Liverpool, England
"I have used VEDIT since version 4.0 or something (At
least four years) Love it. Simply the Best in all Ways."
R. Edgar Scrutton, Windsor, Canada
"Just started using VEDIT for windows. Fantastic!
Quick, powerful, easy to use - just like it says in the marketing hype."
Tim Sparks, York, PA
"Congratulations on Version 5. I have used VEDIT since
the Osborne days and depend on it to make a living."
Richard Spears, Glenview, IL
"I recently installed VEDIT Plus for Windows, and I
think you should know that it is terrific!"
Howard Spindel, Tualatin, OR
"VEDIT PLUS is one of my favorite programs, and is
definitely the best text editor I have seen."
David Blum M.D., Los Angeles, CA
"VEDIT PLUS is superb. It blows every editor I've used
out of the water for speed and functionality."
John Schmidt, Phoenix, AZ
"I’m using VEDIT for about 8 years now. Itīs a
great tool and your support is really responsive!"
Viele Gruesse aus Deutschland.
"Bless you. I downloaded v5.0 and installed it. I love
it."
John P. Dwyer, Chicago, IL
"The exactitude of the context sensitive help was
impressive!"
Al Kaplan, Oakland, CA
"You have an outstanding program."
Jerome Walter, Austin, Texas
"The new DOS and Windows versions of VEDIT work
great! Thanks for a great editing tool."
Alex Janssen, Charlottesville, VA
"The new Windows version is really great....Nice
job!"
Grant Blank, Chicago, IL
"VEDIT is the smartest text editor in this solar
system. You're cool. Keep it going."
Clint Danbury, Dallas, TX
"Many of my software tools have changed over the years,
but not my fondness for VEDIT. Thanks for a reliable product."
Mark Vargo, NY, NY
"I am most pleased at your responsiveness to problems.
Maybe you could give lessons to Bill Gates?"
Shelomo ben-Avraham, Jerusalem, Israel
"Have received the Unix version of VEDIT today. Looks
great so far. I'm so happy I hope I don't wet my pants. No more 'vi'. Thanks for all your
help."
Rick Gentry, Farmington, MI
"Thank you very much for your latest version of VEDIT
PLUS. Your new features are really very impressive and useful. Your creativity and
productivity is amazing."
William Herron, San Diego, CA
"Just thought I'd drop a line telling you that I really
like the way you captured the feel of the original VEDIT Plus in the Windows Edition."
Jerry Jankura, Cleveland, OH
"I think your VEDIT is one of the fastest (and the most
compact) editors...your product seemingly outspeeds all other domestic ones."
Shun Saeki, Kumamoto, Japan
"Congratulations on your release of the first editor
for windows that is worth the time it takes to use it. I have been using your product for
longer than I care to admit and it has always been my editor of choice."
Carmen Gassi, Oakville, Ontario, Canada
"My update to V on subscription just arrived and I must
say that using your program on Dos and Unix since the very beginning, 60's (actually the
80's) I think, THIS NEW VERSION IS THE BEST! thanks, thanks,thanks."
Dr. R.G. Black, Sugarland, TX
"I just got my copy of VEDIT 5.0 (used through win95)
and first impressions are quite good. Your program is truly unique and I have been using
it for a number of years."
Keith Westerfield, NY, NY
"In closing I must say how much I have enjoyed using
VEDIT over the past years, and expect to for quite a while yet. - its simply the BEST
EDITOR I have come across, and I’ve seen quite a few."
Brett S Hallett, Victoria, Australia
"I really appreciate how I always get a quick response
from this company. It really goes a long way towards making the impersonal PC interfaces
seem like personal support."
Name Withheld Upon Request, Ithica, NY
"Thanks for creating this little gem. Finding anybody
to support DOS programs under Windows 95 or even Windows is extremely difficult. This
program saved my tail end after I convinced my boss he needed to upgrade to Win95, then he
couldn't use his old Paradox on our the network."
Tom Psenak, Denver, CO
"Great Job! I could not be happier with the new VEDIT
Plus 5.0. A great evolutionary step for a great product. It’s great having a windows
version but I often run the DOS version because some of my other tools don't run well
under windows."
Gary Barbour, Sevierville, TN
"It's interesting that, after playing with Brief, the
Sage Editor, and Codewright, I still keep coming back to VEDIT Plus. Too bad that the
Windows version wasn't out early enough to keep me from spending money on
Codewright. VPW beats it hands down."
Jerry Jankura, Cleveland, OH
"In my opinion, you guys really got you act together. I
have been writing programs for over twenty years, and VEDIT is the best editor I've ever
used. Sometimes my colleagues are hampered by long record lengths when editing, but I have
never had a problem with VEDIT. Keep up the good work!!"
Ed O'Rorke, Long Island City, NY
"I tell people that your products are superb, of
course. But even more important, I tell them the conscientious support and consideration
you and your staff give your customers is unmatched anywhere. Thank you for the generous
support you have provided me over the years."
Ian A. Morton, St. Paul, MN
"I don't want an overgrown editor with a lot of excess
baggage for programming it. That is one of the things I didn't like about Brief. It was
much too large and slow, I never really could figure out their programming junk and their
support was the pits. And you can quote me on that!"
Bob Stephan, Pebble Beach, CA
"As a long-time satisfied user of VEDIT, I hadn't
expected so many changes as were included in this latest release; I do appreciate the many
enhancements. My enthusiasm for the new release prompted my boss to ask if I was getting a
commission, or being paid to promote the product. Keep up the good work."
Reese Anschultz, Culver City, CA
"You have again provided us with another 'goodie
filled' update to your product. As per usual, I am pleasantly surprised at the new
features you are providing with your update. You folks have taken a great product and just
keep making it better."
Paul E. Richmond, New Port Richey, FL
"VEDIT is the first product (not just editor) for DOS
with which I am completely satisfied."
J.A. O'Brien, Edwardstown, Australia
"I just wanted you to know that I was considering other
packages, but I couldn't seem to get any response from them via email or on the phone, so
your being so responsive to answering my questions via email was what made the difference.
It's nice to see that some companies actually pay attention to the e-mail that they get
from their websites!"
Joe Zimmerman, Tonawanda, NY
"Congratulations to Mr. T.Green, T.Burt and C.Scott !!!
I have bought your smart VEDIT Windows/DOS and I was very surprised. I am happy to know,
that there are still clever programmers in good health on earth, where the target is a
rich functional piece of software instead of a fat bomb of "cancer" bytes. I am
programmer myself and I think Greenview Data is on the right road!!!"
A.Herzog, Switzerland
"First, let me say that I have been using VEDIT since
the days of CP/M, and it is by far the best programmer's editor on the market. Each time I
think VEDIT can't get any better, it does. But the best tools always come from people that
have to use them for a living. Just about everyone that I have managed to get to try
VEDIT, prefers it to Brief. Keep up the good work!"
David H. Hawkins, Framingham, MA
"When it comes to editors, I've tried them all. Every
once in a while, I get tempted by the hype to try something other than Vedit. Experience
has shown me, however, that nothing really can compare to VEDIT. It does what I want, and
it does it quickly--and without loading my hard drive with a lot of trash."
Gene A. Del Polito, Washington, D.C.
I just received my copy of VEDIT and am very happy with it.
I have occasion to edit files up to 40 megabytes, and haven't had a proper editor for it
up until now. VEDIT's speed is incredible. I ran thru 20 MB of data today -- VEDIT has
quadrupled my production rate for this sort of thing already. Well done to the
programmers!"
Bruce Nunn, Los Angeles, CA
"I visited your web site yesterday, and it looks GREAT!
I must have read every page at least twice. Even though I'm quite familiar with your
product, the advent of a new release of VEDIT still generates excitement. (I don't get
that feeling from some other vendors!) It occurred to me that VEDIT is the only tool that
doesn't leave me with the feeling of "diminishing returns" or "code
bloat" after using it for awhile. With 11 years of VEDIT experience, this product is
tried and true!"
David Hughes, Middletown, NY
"Hi, I see that VEDIT has many admirers. I want to add
my name to the list. VEDIT has allowed me to accomplish what seemed to be an impossible
job. I needed to change a variable from single precision to double precision .. in
hundreds of programs scattered all over the disk ( and many times within each program !)
VEDIT did the job quickly and perfectly. I also at times need to edit very large damaged
files - Again no problem with VEDIT. A great, powerful and indispensable addition to a
programmer’s tool box. Thanks for a great piece of work."
Len Schneider, Belfast, ME
"Go ahead and quote me to your best advantage! I know
that everything you will say is 100% correct because simply put VEDIT is a wonderful
program! Also, I would like to mention that I have found you guys to be exceptionally
helpful and responsive to our needs. If you recall, from time to time, I have a need to
request clarification or other help and I really appreciate the assistance you have
extended at these times. Compare this with support (or lack thereof) from most software
vendors these days!!!"
S. Krishna, Grapevine, TX
"I have been using VEDIT PLUS for almost 2 years to
develop programs in C and Rbase. I was recently given the task of breaking up a very large
print file. I didn't think anything about it until I saw how big it really was - over 5
Megs! Your program was 'SUPERB' in the way it moved from one area to another and printed
the file! The other guy in the office had tried several editors available to him, but none
of them would even read in the file. I've really enjoyed using your program ever since I
received it, but today you made me look like a real HERO. Thank You. Keep up the good
work."
Patrick Roy, Dallas, TX
"I just received your latest and greatest edition of
VEDIT (version 4.20) and I am really, really impressed with how it has improved with age
(just like a fine wine). I have used VEDIT for what seems to be years and I always
have my copy of it on a floppy disk when I go out and teach or consult with people and
their computers. I would not be caught dead without it (well, maybe I wouldn't take it
with me to the grave but you get the idea)."
Gary Marc Remson, Sherman Oaks, CA
"Ted, these exchanges with you is why I keep beating
the drum for Vedit. Generally, I don't like problems with software. It's annoying and
takes time from productive tasks. But it is a fact of life and part of our industry. What
makes all the difference is getting INTELLIGENT, COURTEOUS, and PROMPT support, and that's
a hallmark of Greenview Data. Again, my heartfelt applause for your responsiveness and
attention to customer concerns. Wish Billy G's company was 1/10th as responsive!!! Can you
imagine me getting this kind of support from Mr. Gates' minions? I think not! Thank you
for the time you take to address the problems I find instead of just blowing me off with
"You must have something wrong in your autoexec file."
Steve Margison, Downers Grove, IL
"I just wanted to drop you a note to give you a big
thanks, the new version is behaving beautifully, and I really appreciate the changes that
you made."
Greg Palmer, Buffalo, NY
"I reviewed eleven editors, among them VEDIT PLUS. Many
of the programs shared features I wanted, and some gave me what I felt was room to grow as
my needs grew. However, none gave me all of the features of VEDIT PLUS in as small a file.
The physical size of VEDIT PLUS coupled with the fast execution of its functions and the
flexibility of its own programmability were instrumental in my decision to make this my
last editor."
John J. Neubauer, Baltimore, MD
