Hello everyone out there,
Is there a way within 'vi', that can prevent the same user from
'vi'ing the same file in another session?
As I get distracted with calls, etc, I may end up editing the same
file, and inadvertently (and lastly) exiting the one without the mods.
What a GREAT way to waste valuable time.
Use vim instead of vi. Vim creates a .filename.swp file in the
same directory as the file being edited, and a second attempt to
edit the file results in a warning message. Vim uses that file
for recovery with ``vim -r filename'' instead of burying some
file under /var/tmp/somethingorother.
There are usable version of vim at Skunkware. I do't recommend
installing it from scratch, getting the terminal behavior i a bit
tricky.
FWIW vim is included in OpenServer 6.
--RLR
There is also a very current version in osr507mp5, and like several other
things from osr507mp5, it can be installed on at least osr506 as long as
it's got oss646c. Probably 505 and 504 too though I haven't tried more than
506 myself yet.
I have a stand-alone vim 6.something on my site but the osr507mp5 one is
newer and more complete.
Brian, that's the fifth cd with the OSR 5.0.7 currentn distribution?
I'm very happy with gnutools from OSR 5.0.7, and a better vim would
help me a bit.
