Thanks to all who replied to my plea for assistance with a missing ctype.h file to compile the STevie source. We now have it up and running. Thank you all, once again.

I encountered a problem with the 'stevie' editor: when loading a big file eg:stevie.doc the stevie won't react on curser key hits properly. Does someone has encountered this bug/problem too, or knows how to remove that bug..

I didn't have this problem with a file of about 220K (6000 lines).
But I hit a severe bug!
I wanted to indent the whole text by using ">G" and stevie (v3.91) bombed
at me! I checked the command on a small file and it worked!
Conclusion: stevie does indenting via the yank-buffer, but is failing
to see the overflow! In other situations (e.g. deleting a huge block), I
get a question yank-buffer exceeded, confirm? and that's it. When indenting
I didn't get this message but two bombs instead.
Please correct it asap!
Another implementation of vi did a nice trick: It checked a flag whether
the file has been changed since loading. As it wasn't, it re-loaded the
textfile with indenting... It had trouble when saving the result onto
another filename. It told me the disk was full (It wasn't - I had about
1 meg free, and the program stopped after writing 90K). SIGH.
Greetings,
RIPLEY
