     I guess the pieces didn't have to be rotated too. :) BTW, TheDraw has
block mode as well.

ObASCII:

Its where you can cut and paste rectangular
blocks of text anywhere on the screen.


Most text editors only let you select text


consider the following peice of text,

123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789
12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567

most text editors would only let you select text
like so,
12345678901234#######################################4
####################################################
#########################67890123456789012345678901234567
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789
12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567


and the paste would looke like so,

5678901234567890123456789012345678901234
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012
1234567890123456789012345

But with a block select you could do this,

12345678901234###########67890123456789012345678901234
12345678901234###########678901234567890123456789012
12345678901234###########67890123456789012345678901234567
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789
12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567

and paste the block any where you like like so.



   56789012345
   56789012345
   56789012345 <----Here


                      56789012345
                      56789012345
                      56789012345     <----or Here



56789012345
56789012345  <----or Here         56789012345
56789012345                       56789012345   <----or Here
                                  56789012345


                56789012345
                56789012345
                56789012345   <----or Here


It makes lots of things a lot easier and less time consuming.

 Blockmode in Vim lets you select a rectangular block for deleting,
copying or even filling with a special character. Quite demonstration:

    ############################
    #                          #
    #  OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  #
    #  OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  #
    #  OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  #
    #  OOO                OOO  #
    #  OOO                OOO  #
    #  OOO  A simple box  OOO  #
    #  OOO                OOO  #
    #  OOO                OOO  #
    #  OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  #
    #  OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  #
    #  OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  #
    #                          #
    ############################

 Here I've firstly made a block of #-characters, then a smaller block
with spaces, a block with O's and again a space-block. In no time at all
:-)))

 So long!

Is Vim a program or something? If so, is it free? If so, where can I download
it? Thanks!
