What do the POSIX standards say, having a vi named package, or binary? I think its the second. Vim in testing has no X capabilities and only the perl interpeted enabled. Still perl is only an optional dependency. What if perl was an actual dependency. Its already in base. I dare not to imagine a system not having perl installed. Anyway i dont know if my suggestion actually works as i imagine. -- Greg
