I could also use some vi docs. If anyone knows of a book or has some 'complete' docs in a file I would really appreciate it. Tom...

Get this card if you already know vi moderately well. I'm a vi
wizard but every time I read this card I learn something new --
there is stuff here that I've not seen documented anywhere else.

Here are two recommendations: A Guide To VI by Dan Sonnenschein, Prentice Hall 1987 and Learning The VI Editor by Linda Lamb, O'Reilly & Associates 1985. The O'Reilly book was recently updated and enlarged, although I don't have that revision. O'Reilly books can be ordered via uucp from uunet!ora!tim, the P-H book should be available from any major bookstore. Wolf Paul -- Wolf N.

You must be running TPC UNIX or you wouldn't have to ask. The definitive
reference manuals are "An Introduction to Display Editing with VI",
"EX Reference Manual", "EDIT: A Tutorial", "Tutorial Introduction to ED",
and "Advanced Editing on UNIX". They are distributed with every BSD based
system I know of and are numbered USD:{15,16,14,12,13} in 4.3 BSD.
? Here are two recommendations:
Forget it. Read the *real* manuals.

[Look, Root Boy, we ain't TFPC any more!] Mr. Cottrell is suggesting that Berkeley UNIX comes with good vi documentation (which it does), and that System V doesn't (which it doesn't.) However, AT&T does make a variety of UNIX documentation available besides the manuals, including some vi tutorials paced so a non-technical person can understand them. Call the 1-800-828-UNIX folks and try to get a documentation catalog from them, or explain what you're looking for and they should be able to tell you how to order it. -- # Thanks; # Bill Stewart, AT&T Bell Labs 2G218, Holmdel NJ 1-201-949-0705 ihnp4!ho95c!wcs Rnmail: .signature too boring - deleted
