Indeed. It's larger because it does a lot more! Small isn't necessarily beautiful and all those tiny old vendor vi binaries are probably full of bugs since they were never actively maintained. The last time I used Solaris vi it didn't handle long lines properly and the more recent classic Joy vi open source forks are full of bug fixes (often for quite serious problems). If you want a tiny vi compile one of those up or use nvi. If you want features use vim. -- Steve Mynott cv25519/ECF8B611205B447E091246AF959E3D6197190DD5
