Just a question about this new vi package. Am I the only one having problems when openning UTF-8 files? I can't even type words with diacritics or vi will abort. For example, try to create a file with the following and then open it with the new vi package:
This line will render fine Mas essa aqui não ("but this one won't" in Portuguese).

If you want support for non-ASCII charsets and other things offered by vim, just install vim.
I have a system whose users' real names can't be written in ASCII, and this being the 21st century, not the 70's, I have the real name (with accents) in the GECOS field in /etc/passwd. Not being a vi{,m} user, I just have whatever the default package for vi is installed. Then for whatever reason, /etc/passwd is b0rked, and I have to boot into single usermode to repair that, and all I can use is vi. vi crashes when I open /etc/passwd. Now what ? Or, $config_file has comments in my native language, and vi crashes when I open it. FreeBSD's vi (actually nvi) can't manage non-ASCII characters, but at least it doesn't crash. (Actually : 1. I'm an emacs user, so I would use emacs ;-p ; 2. cut -d: -f -4,6- < /etc/passwd > /etc/passwd.no-real) -- Fred
