[comp.editors] Inserting Octal Values with vi

rogopp@auto-trol.com (Roger Opperman) (06/25/91)

I need to directly insert some 8-bit values into a file with vi (like
you can with ^Q in emacs).  Is this possible?


Thanks,

No.

Unless your vendor has changed this (some did, and others will probably follow).

Ask your vendor.
