How can I make 'vi' work when included in my ifs?

Recommendation

________________________________________________________________________

Include the following files in your image.

vi
/etc/termcap = ./termcap
/usr/lib/terminfo/q/qansi = /usr/lib/terminfo/q/qansi

A simplified termcap file is attached to this solution. It is assumed to be in the same directory as the build file. The terminfo link will work when building the ifs on a Neutrino self-hosted system. For building in on a Windows machine, it will look something like:

/usr/lib/terminfo/q/qansi = C:\QNX650\target\qnx6\usr\lib\terminfo\q
