Among *all* the GNU/Linux distributions I used, they include a vim compiled in tiny mode (ln -s it to vi), which doubles the size of nvi, in their base systems. A vim.tiny contains much more features compared with nvi, but it's not compatible with POSIX vi. -- Zhihao Yuan The best way to predict the future is to invent it. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
