hi,

i hope this is not too OT, it is more of a solaris question than FreeBSD.

i have a problem with vi on solaris, whereby if i try to run it in a
terminal over 163 chars wide, i get an error "Terminal too wide".  however,
i do the same thing in FreeBSD and it's fine.  what's the difference?  they
are obviously different versions of vi, but i was thinking more in terms of
maybe a setting i could change on the solaris box that allowed me large
terminal vi sessions.

thanks in advance, please take this off list if you think it inappropriate.

alex..
