The different undo semantics would surprise (and piss off) a :lot of people. : :DES :-- :Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@ofug.org I live for undo. vim doesn't do it right. Also, vim creates '.BLAH.swp' files in the same directory as the file you are editing, even if you do not modify the file, which are unbelievably annoying. And vim's split screen stuff is aweful. It is far too easy to accidently get into split screen mode. I would be very pissed if someone ripped out nvi. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
