I *really* liked the (DOS-based) editor 'Multi-Edit' when I used to do 
Win3.1 MultiMedia work. It showed a tab as a small circle, but still 
had the tab-width - the rest was normal spaces. It let you ensure you had 
tabs, but showed the right layout. Tabs in source can compile a *lot* 
faster in large C++ source and headers. I also used it over NFS to do 
*nix programming before I got my vi-feet...

Wishing vi would support ^T like bash - Jy@ (jwyatt@rwsystems.net)
