The point is that someone explicitly suggested that 'vim' should replace 'nvi'. (Will Andrews did, and other messages have implied that switch). No one is suggesting 'nvi' replace 'vim'.

We were not arguing "split vs undo", we were discussing options for 'nvi'. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
