There seems to be an important bug in vc, which makes it much less useful. Attempts to copy a row (using the ^j command), where the row contains an expression using the +/ operator, fail to work correctly. The cells for the operands of the +/ in the expression tree apparently do not get initialized. The result, in any case, is usually a reference to r0c0 instead of a reference to the cell mentioned in the copied expression. Occasionally I have seen, instead of r0c0, a row number with seven digits. This looks like pre-existing, nonconforming garbage. This means that a row including a cross-wise summation cannot be copied (generally if the copied row is copied again the program dies with a segmentation fault). Does anyone have a fix for this? scott preece ihnp4!uiucdcs!ccvaxa!preece
