One man's bloat is another man's feature set I guess. I have a little different perspective. I learned elvis on Slackware before I ever met the real vi. Then I got acquainted with vim on Debian. Now I have to use the real vi on some DEC/Compaq boxes at work -- sh as well, no bash. It makes me feel almost claustrophobic. I breath a little easier when I get back to my box and my bash and my vim. Different strokes for different folks, as they say. That's what I love about the Linux community. We have so many wonderful choices. -- Bud Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html All things in moderation. And not too much moderation either.
