As evidence of the "black hole" mail situation between D.L. and I, I submitted this fix originalls to 3.8e (actually I think the fix was different, but the problem was the same). Overwrite mode problem When in overwrite mode, the is a problem with repeat counts. If I type "^U10x" instead of changing the first ten characters to x's, I change the first to an x, and then insert the next nine x's before what was the 2nd character on the line. This is a suggested fix. 1718a1719 > int delindex; /* counter for OVER mode */ 1749,1752c1750,1754 < if (curwp->w_bufp->b_mode & MDOVER && < curwp->w_doto < curwp->w_dotp->l_used && < (lgetc(curwp->w_dotp, curwp->w_doto) != '\t' || < (curwp->w_doto) % tabsize == (tabsize - 1))) --- > if (curwp->w_bufp->b_mode & MDOVER) { > for (delindex=0; delindex < n; delindex++) { > if (curwp->w_doto < curwp->w_dotp->l_used && > (lgetc(curwp->w_dotp, curwp->w_doto) != '\t' || > (curwp->w_doto) % tabsize == (tabsize - 1))) 1753a1756,1757 > } > } -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
