vim in compatable mode is not, I believe, 100% compatible, but so close you will probably not ever encounter a failed expectation. vim ships in compatible mode by default.
That's why I was surprised that Abigail couldn't treat the vim as a stock vi; my impression was also that vim, by default (i.e. in the absence of any configuration files) will act very similar to plain vi. I suppose the presence of a pre-configured .vimrc by the distribution vendor was the reason, rather than the fact that it's vim rather than Joy vi. Cheers, -- Philip Newton <philip.new...@gmail.com>
