Greetings,
	I dont think this got out the first time, my apologies if you've
	seen this already.

	In vi what I want to do is align certain characters into the same 
	column.  For instance :-
		/*codecodecodecodecode */
		/*codecodecodecodecodecodecodecodecodecodecodecodeco */
		/*codecodecodecodecodecodecodecodecodecode */
	some command like :1,$s/\/\*/>>\/\*/  ??
	would end up aligned so :-
		/*codecodecodecodecode				     */
		/*codecodecodecodecodecodecodecodecodecodecodecodeco */
		/*codecodecodecodecodecodecodecodecodecode           */

Cheers,
Carl.
