We're trying to help our user base recover from a disaster. I suspect ed(1) is not well-known through out the FreeBSD user base. mined(1) is a full-screen editor, which of course allows one to see what she is editing. mined(1) also has on-line help for all possible key-binding actions in a 1 page listing. > If you want a static curses editor, compile ee(1) -static. Well, this will help me, but how exactly does it help our user base. Currently, /rescue/vi is useless if a termcap file is not available (as in /usr is hosed). -- Steve
