Thanks. BTW, although the evaluation field isn't shown ([EMAIL PROTECTED] b.o.o!), this is what I put there when closing the RFE: --- While adding VIM to Solaris is a fine idea, replacing /usr/bin/vi with it is not. Also, since VIM is not GNU software, it does not belong in /usr/gnu. Please do re-open this bug with a synopsis and description that more accurately reflect the true scope of the RFE: you want VIM in the WOS. This absolutely is a worthwhile goal. If the current synopsis is an accurate reflection of the RFE, there is no reasonable way this RFE can be implemented: vim is incompatible with vi, and has other characteristics (such as a huge memory footprint relative to vi) that may make it unsuitable or undesirable for many current vi users. --- I want to make it absolutely clear that putting VIM in /usr/bin sounds to me like a fine plan. But I'll be very interested to hear how you plan to deliver VIM's 'view' binary, since its name conflicts with that of the existing program. -- Keith M Wesolowski "Sir, we're surrounded!"
