Hi, Where I work our Linux systems have various incarnations of vim. Some systems don't have gvim at all; some systems have 6.x, some have 7.x, etc. In the hope to try to always get a system with gvim 7.x, we thought we could just rsh to the system and launch gvim. Well, when we tried that we got the following warnings and then various degrees of mess on our terminal as vim tried to open in console mode. Here are the warnings:
Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal We found that if we wrote a wrapper script that launched an xterm window, and then launched gvim within the xterm window, that gvim would correctly be exported back to the user's display. And then the wrapper script would close the xterm so that from the user's perspective it looks and feels as if gvim is running "normally". My question is this: Is all of this really necessary? Is there an easier way one can launch gvim on a remote system and export the window to a local display? Thanks in advance. -- Mun --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
