Yeah, if you type :version (followed by <Enter>), vim (or vim masquerading as vi) answers with about a page of information beginning (in Vim on my system) with VIM - Vi IMproved 9.0 (2022 Jun 28, compiled Oct 22 2023 01:25:49) Included patches: 1-2059 Compiled by [email protected] Huge version with GTK3 GUI. Features included (+) or not (-): In a typical "Vim built as vi" the fourth line above typically begins instead "Tiny version without GUI", like this: VIM - Vi IMproved 9.0 (2022 Jun 28, compiled Oct 22 2023 01:25:29) Included patches: 1-2059 Compiled by [email protected] Tiny version without GUI. Features included (+) or not (-): A tiny version of Vim is built with no expression evaluation (lower down, in the part I didn't paste, it says -eval rather than +eval as in a full-featured Vim or gvim), and that prevents some plugins (including IIRC the tar plugin) from running.
