How can I check what version of the vi editor I have? What's the best way to upgrade it or install vim on Solaris?
How can I check what version of the VI editor I have?
vim;solaris;vi
According to http://www.vim.org/download.php, Sun Solaris Vim is included in the Companion Software: http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/.vi has had the :ve[rsion] command going back at least as far as 1979, so it should work on any Solaris release.
