>Environment:
System: NetBSD 4.99.72
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
The new /usr/bin/vi doesn't support the matchchars option.
I have marked this "critical" because it's a regression
in functionality that used to work.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run the new vi, in a context where $HOME/.exrc contains a
command like
se matchchars=''""(){}[]
Observe these error messages:
set: no matchchars option: 'set all' gives all option values
Ex command failed: pending commands discarded
Alternatively, start vi and type
:se matchchars=''""(){}[]
>Fix:
1. Add the matchchars logic to the new nvi.
2. Check whether there are any other options present in old nvi
but not new nvi, and add them too.
