<rant> Ugh! no! Linux vi is NOT VIM. And vim is NOT vi. vim is vim. Linux vi is any of: nvi, elvis, vim, ae. Which one depends entirely on your distribution. I use debian, an install nvi as vi, and vim as vim. Distributions that package vim as vi should be hurt severely as vim has a LOT of non-vi behaviour by default which results in lots of braindamaged linux users who think that there's something wrong with the plain unix vi. I have no problems against vim, I have problems with people who try to brand vim as being vi. </rant> C. -- --==============================================-- Crossfire | This email was brought to you [EMAIL PROTECTED] | on 100% Recycled Electrons --==============================================-- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
