Two quick questions for the vi hackers out there: 1) What is the difference between the (sys 5) SunOS 4.1 vi and the old (bsd) SunOS 4.0.x vi? (except "showmode") The most notible for me was that the man-page is wrong. I looked at the man-page, and it said that -x would ecrypt with a prompt for the key. Well, not only does this no-longer work, but the usage string that gets printed out is VERY different from the manual-page. 2) Is there any way to persuade vi not to use tabs to indent? Not that I know of. Use expand. -AJS -- asherman@dino.ulowell.edu or asherman%cpe@swan.ulowell.edu Note that as of 7/18/90 that's asherman@dino.cpe.ulowell.edu "That that is is that that is not is not is that it it is."
