I offered to port a mini-vi-clone (elvis or equivalent), when ee was forced in, but the offer was rejected, & i've no time now (I'm fighting hardware). Though ee is smaller than vi: strip /usr/bin/ee -r-xr-xr-x 2 bin bin 61440 May 13 05:45 /usr/bin/ee /usr/bin/ee: FreeBSD/i386 demand paged dynamically linked executable it's not smaller than some vi clones I've ported years ago. Someone argued a rank newbie might prefer ee : But it says both `Unix' & `4.4 BSD-Lite' on the CDROM label, our BSD Unix clone OS should by default use a standard BSD VI clone, not non standard tools. (Not to denigrate other editors, it's nice to see 'em in ports/ ) Julian -- Julian H. Stacey jhs@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/
