Hi All - Sorry, I forgot to send some of my correspondence to the list. I sent this to Daniel: --- >Actually there's a very nice vim implementation for Windows. Thanks for the tip, but I'm not really looking to find something to work on Windows. :-) Although I'm perfectly willing to use it on Linux, it's not really my favorite editor. I'm just asking, if I wanted to edit something on Linux -- using vi -- what would I need to do to set it up so it would properly handle the UTF-8 character encodings, and whatever else we need to do to keep cvs happy with the files? I did some reading of the man pages, and found out about stuff like :let &termencoding = &encoding :set encoding= utf-8 but I don't really know how it works and if the resulting files are actually acceptable to cvs. For now, I guess I'll just stick with Notepad++ on Windows, but I was just curious. -- and he responded: --- > :let &termencoding = &encoding > :set encoding= utf-8 > but I don't really know how it works and if the resulting files are > actually acceptable to cvs. That would be fine. Actually VIM in Windows has also menus which allow for a comfortable setup and use (comfortable for someone not used to the command line) still preserving the usual editing possibilities. > For now, I guess I'll just stick with Notepad++ on Windows, but I > was just curious. No problem. ;) --- Just in case anyone else is interested...
