Has anyone used the (mostly undocumented) ctags feature with the System V
version of vi? After constructing a tags file with a PD version of ctags,
System V vi often issues the error message 'no such tag in tags file' (or
something like this) when I try to position the current line on a function
(which may be in another source file) with ':ta fname'. Sometimes it
finds the line/file (it seems to depend on the order of the tag definitions),
but more often it fails, even when I know the definition in question IS in
the tags file. I've had no problems using tag files with PC/VI, or a Berkeley
version of vi.
