[comp.sys.sgi] Huge temp files with vi

jeffd@norge.SGI.COM (Jeff Doughty) (05/09/89)

The problem with vi creating huge temp files is indeed a bug.  It has been
fixed for the 3.2 release, due out soon.

If you have disk space somewhere else, say under /usr, type the following
within vi:

	:set directory=/usr/tmp

This will put its temp files under /usr/tmp.  This line (without the leading
colon) can be put in your ~/.exrc file.
