Re: Using VI via Telnet to Linux on z ???
I've installed and used nano at several client sites lately.....works
great, and the prompting helps me remember how to get at least simple
editing chores done....

Inevitably there will be some reason why you can't install something
better.
Vi is still the "default" editor for Linux, even though the GNU project
has
written the "nano" editor. Weighing in at a svelte 377K when built with
all
features enabled under SLES 9 for z. That's far smaller than the 1.4MB
vim.
Links against fewer shared libraries too. It uses an "emacs-like" key
mapping, and actually shows a table of common keys on-screen so you can
figure out how to use it when you start it up. It uses ncurses, so it
won't
work on 3270 either.
Unfortunately, the major distros do not seem to have picked this up.
Anyone
else run across nano yet? It builds out of the box under Linux on z.
