Wrap
Now that I left Oce the e-mail address "mool@oce.nl" is no longer valid. Please don't use it anymore, although mail sent there will be forwarded for some time. My new address is: "Amoolenaar@mukla.gn.apc.org". The Fido address is 5:7321/1.43. The project is located in a rural area. There is no phone, I have to go to Masaka to transfer e-mail. I will do this at least once in two weeks. If you send me mail, please include all relevant information, because sending messages back and forth takes a lot of time. If you don't get a reply in two weeks, the message is probably lost. Try again. I don't know yet how reliable the e-mail connection is. You can also use the fax number, if you don't mind paying the international call (from here it costs about $4 per page). Or send me a letter or a diskette (takes about two weeks). If you have a simple question send it to Stephen Riehm (ln_smr@pki-nbg.philips.de). He will be able to answer more quickly. If you have a bug report or request for enhancement you should send it to me. Donations should still be send to the address in The Netherlands, because that is more reliable. Have fun with Vim! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Bram Moolenaar Internet: Amoolenaar@mukla.gn.apc.org Kibaale Children's Centre Fido: 5:7321/1.43 p.o. box 1658, Masaka, Uganda fax: +256 481 20514 "bringing hope for a brighter tomorrow" From uchinews!msuinfo!harbinger.cc.monash.edu.au!news.cs.su.oz.au!metro!dmssyd.syd.dms.CSIRO.AU!news.dmpe.CSIRO.AU!mel.dit.csiro.au!etrog.citri.edu.au!webb Sat Oct 8 13:09:26 CDT 1994 Article: 11576 of comp.editors Path: uchinews!msuinfo!harbinger.cc.monash.edu.au!news.cs.su.oz.au!metro!dmssyd.syd.dms.CSIRO.AU!news.dmpe.CSIRO.AU!mel.dit.csiro.au!etrog.citri.edu.au!webb From: webb@cgl.citri.edu.au (Robert Webb) Newsgroups: comp.editors Subject: Re: VI Editor for PC's Date: 30 Sep 94 03:50:37 GMT Organization: Collaborative Information Technology Research Institute Lines: 54 Distribution: inet Message-ID: <webb.780897037@manda.cgl.citri.edu.au> References: <369ri4$otj@eccdb1.pms.ford.com> <KANZE.94Sep29135702@slsvhdt.us-es.sel.de> NNTP-Posting-Host: godzilla.cgl.citri.edu.au kanze@us-es.sel.de (James Kanze US/ESC 60/3/164 #71425) writes: >In article <369ri4$otj@eccdb1.pms.ford.com> makbar@pgt001.cpd.ford.com >() writes: >|> Is there a VI editor for IBM Pc's?

It is the most vi compatible vi-clone I have seen, and is easy to use if you're used to vi. I even heard one guy complain because he couldn't see any difference! However, due to its many improvements, you may not wish to go back to straight vi :-) A couple of notes: - On msdos, if you get any strange screen flashing or color changing, try: :set hl= - By default, backup files are maintained. That is, editing 'file' will create 'file.bak' in the current directory. This can be turned off with ':set nobackup nowritebackup'. - By default, a swap file is created in the current directory for crash recovery purposes. Vi puts its crash recovery file in /tmp. To make vim do something like this, use ':set dir=>/tmp'. The '>' stops it from trying the current directory first.
