I am looking for a version of vi that can handle 132 columns. The one I have under 4.1BSD can really only do 100 columns. If anyone has such an animal I would greatly appreciate a copy. Thanks In Advance Mark Donnelly !ihnp4!motown!mergvax!donnelly

I have and feel it's really easy, and fuctional to use!!!!! I use a public-domain version that works great, and is FREE!!!

We used to have this problem here. One day I got to checking around and I discovered that we had a whole bunch of termcap entries for VT100-type terminals that had %2 in the cursor capability instead of %d, meaning that curses could only generate column numbers up to 99. Check your termcap entry, and if the cursor motion string has %2 for the column output, try changing it to %d or %3. --- "Country beats the hell out of me" -- Jerry Dale McFadden Dave Cornutt, Gould Computer Systems, Ft.
