My system crashed while I had a number of unsaved changes to a file and unfortunately "vi -r myfile" fails for me. When I try it I get: +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ There are other files for you to recover; gipmain.c: modified: line 1. Error: unable to retrieve line 39; Error: unable to retrieve line 40. Error: unable to retrieve line 41; Error: unable to retrieve line 42. Error: unable to retrieve line 43; Error: unable to retrieve line 44. Error: unable to retrieve line 45; Error: unable to retrieve line 46. Error: unable to retrieve line 47; Error: unable to retrieve line 48. Error: unable to retrieve line 49; Error: unable to retrieve line 50. Error: unable to retrieve line 39; Error: unable to retrieve line 40. Error: unable to retrieve line 41; Error: unable to retrieve line 42. Error: unable to retrieve line 43; Error: unable to retrieve line 44. Error: unable to retrieve line 45; Error: unable to retrieve line 46. Error: unable to retrieve line 47; Error: unable to retrieve line 48. Error: unable to retrieve line 49; Error: unable to retrieve line 50 errors repeated over and over and the vi process hangs (after allocating 258MB of memory). Does "vi -r" work for others? Is it possible that I just have some kind of configuration error on my system? Any help would be greatly appreciated...I really don't want to have to recreate my changes! :-( Thanks, Bob -- Bob Willcox Have the courage to take your own thoughts bob@VIEO.com seriously, for they will shape you.
