apparently vi ALWAYS copies the entire input file, even if invoked with readonly switch. Is there a way to have it not do that? When editing a large file, this causes a problem for us in the partition where the temp directory is. ln 'd temp to a directory under /usr where we have more space, but it is still annoying to have to wait for vi to cp the entirety of a large file before editing. -------
