'make tags' in /usr/src/ also supports > 'gtags'. Vim can do gtags, perl, python, ruby... Nvi does not even support dict completion and syntax highlighting. I don't think nvi is suitable for daily coding now and the gtags support is not making things better. I regards nvi as a trustful editor when you login into other ppl's machines. Because it's almost not configurable, so you can trust it's behavior. In such case, a "greatest common divisor" feature set is enough. -- Zhihao Yuan, nickname lichray The best way to predict the future is to invent it. ___________________________________________________ 4BSD -- http://4bsd.biz/ -- Zhihao Yuan, nickname lichray The best way to predict the future is to invent it. ___________________________________________________ 4BSD -- http://4bsd.biz/
