I am always losing my work with ex/vi when the system goes down in the middle of an edit session. Later, I type vi -r filename to restore the file. Then I make changes a few changes, or if I just want to save it, I type :x (ex) or ZZ (vi) Guess what happens? That's right, all of my changes are lost! How about setting the 'modified' flag whenever a restore is done? John Carlson
