Well, hallelujah, after much travail (I've tried this every Christmas for at least 5 year= s now), I have succeeded in building vi on v7 from 2bsd. Had to patch the c compiler to enlarge the symbol table, tweak some stuff here and there, but it finally built and installed without any errors, yay.

Now, I just want it to do some editing, preferably in visual mode. I can call it as ex or vi:

# ex
:

or

# vi

:

and q will exit, yay, again!

I have at least two problems:
1. It's not going "full" screen, even with TERM=3Dvt100= or TERM=3Dansi set (not that I was surprised, but it'd be nice)...

What does /etc/termcap look like?

Doh! Hit send too fast
=C2=A0
2. If I type a for append and type something, there's no way to get back to the : prompt (ESC doesn't seem to work).

Sounds like the = timeout code for the terminal input isn't working (it's what it use= s to tell a ESC from a ESC [ A for example.
=C2=A0
3. I'd like manpages (figure they might help with the above), but they're on the tape as .u files?

No clue there. Are the .u files n= roff by chance?

I'm hoping this triggers some, oh yeah I remember that, type responses.

Thanks,

Will
