A bit bulky ;-)
There is already a /bin/vi script that executes ae as vi, as a "least
surprise" issue. When running "vi" in an xterm, the help screen would
indicate the program to use instead, so I don't see any problems with
"expectation". I'm also leaning toward aex and vix, as they will appear in
the directory together with their nonx partners.
On another part of the problem. I just tried to use a symlink to execute
ae with the correct .rc file. I cd'd to the /bin directory (where ae
resides) and typed:
ln -s '/bin/ae -f /etc/aex.rc' xae
and, while it seemed to build the link I desired (it looks good with ls
-l) when I try to execute xae, bash tells me the file is not found.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Dwarf
