I have my own repos for our in-house software, but none of that is vim. all my vim installs are from standard centos packages.. # rpm -qa | grep vim vim-minimal-7.0.109-4.el5_2.4z vim-common-7.0.109-4.el5_2.4z vim-enhanced-7.0.109-4.el5_2.4z # vim --version VIM - Vi IMproved 7.0 (2006 May 7, compiled Nov 25 2008 11:43:45) Included patches: 1, 3-4, 7-9, 11, 13-17, 19-26, 29-31, 34-44, 47, 50-56, 58-64, 66-73, 75, 77-92, 94-107, 109, 202, 234-235, 237 Modified by <bugzilla@xxxxxxxxxx> Compiled by <bugzilla@xxxxxxxxxx> [snipped extra stuff] and if I enter the binary just by typing "vim" or "vi" the splash screen tells me: version 7.0.237 the vim and vi binaries are both from different packages and are quite different: [root@web1 doc]# ls -lad $(which vi) -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 593160 Nov 26 05:44 /bin/vi [root@web1 doc]# ls -lad $(which vim) -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2723516 Nov 26 05:44 /usr/bin/vim vim comes from vim-enhanced, and vi comes from vim-minimal. ah, I wasn't as thorough as I thought. :) "vi" exhibits the faulty behaviour, while "vim" works correctly with the compressed help files.. -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923 www.knossos.net.nz
