Should be on the CTAN then.

I just can't stand (X)Emacs. I learned it and used it for 6 months, but as
I do a lot of Perl, and the perl modes are horribly broken, I gave up on it
and went back to Vi. Then I found Vim, and I haven't looked back.
Some help with LaTeX tags would be nice, but I have a whole list of
abbreviations and some macros that do nicely for me.
