>What is wrong with nvi? Two things that are wrong with what we have: - "vi -r" failures, such as "failed to recover line NNNN". I think this is the bug that Keith says required DB3 to fix. - Dumping core when the information about the user running vi goes away between starting vi and making the first change requiring creation of a recovery file (see FreeBSD PR 3170). I run into the first one way too often. The second one isn't much of a problem for me any more since our NIS servers at AT&T are pretty reliable.
