Matthew, Thanks for the reply. Since posting this message I have discovered a 'set ts=4' option in vi and a -x4 in more. I have also discovered that the tab stops are hardwired at 8 columns in kern/tty.c therefore cat can only ever use 8 column tabs unless tty.c is changed. vi was the main area where I wanted the 4 tab spacing. Again thanks for you assistance. Regards Craig. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Seaman" <m.seaman@infracaninophile.co.uk> To: "Craig Wilson" <craig@natsoft.com.au> Cc: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2004 12:23 AM Subject: Re: Tab Stops
