Dear SCO Customer,

The enclosed Support Level Supplement (SLS) PTF3140, the vi(1) Editor
Supplement, corrects these problems with the vi "put" command:

1. In command mode, when [count]p or [count]P is entered, vi now puts the 
   current changed buffer for [count] number of iterations, where [count] 
   is 1 by default.  Formerly, for a changed buffer containing one or more 
   complete lines, vi ignored the value of [count]; putting the buffer only 
   once for all values of [count].

2. For a changed buffer containing partial lines, the vi "put" command
   properly used the [count] repeat effect prefix.  The problem described
   above did not exist for "put" of partial lines.  However, after the 
   execution of such a "put", the vi "redo" command, in the form of [count].,
   would exhibit incorrect behavior.  The "redo" command would repeat the 
   vi command executed prior to the "put".

These corrections to the behavior of vi correct a Single UNIX Specification
Minor System Fault (MSF) against the UnixWare Release 2.1.1 version of the vi
editor.
