Hi all.
I was editing a file in vi when my slackware box crashed. Now,
whenever I open vi, I get the message:
skipping 1 old session file
I know that on some systems there is a program called recovervi or
virecover, but I don't seem to have anything like that here. I'm not
interested in recovering the file I was editing when the machine
crashed, I simply want to get rid of that message. Can someone please
tell me how to do this? Thanks.
Greg

Check /var/tmp. There is very likely a file to do with elvis, which is the
name of the actual program, which vi is symbolically linked to.
hth.
