#788 closed defect (fixed)

Incorrect description of /usr/bin/vi symlink.

Description

The text describing the /usr/bin/vi -> vim symlink says "Vim can run in old-fashioned vi mode by creating a symlink". This is a flat-out lie. Vim doesn't care if it's called as vi or vim, it's backward compatibility is determined _only_ by "set nocompatible" in /etc/vimrc.
