VI or text editor
Before I learned how wonderfull VI and Unix was. I used a little crappy DOS editor. I wouldn't go back to it for anything. However I work with a lot of formatted files that use the column position. I wonder if any here knows of a way to make VI display the cursors coulmn position or if there is a different text editior for unix that has this capability. Please if anyone know of one or how to make VI do it I will love you forever.

NAME
input - Yagi-Uda project antenna defining program
SYNOPSIS
input [ - h ]
DESCRIPTION
The program input is one of a number of executable programs that forms part of a set of programs, collectively known as the Yagi-Uda
project , which were designed for analysis and optimisation of Yagi-Uda antennas. input is an interactive program, that asks the user for
information about a Yagi design, such as position of elements, spacing between elements, frequency span of interest and a filename to save
the data to. input then writes this information into an ASCII file, which can be read by yagi or optimise The file is ASCII and it's for-
mat is easily understood by inspection (there are comments printed in it), so it can if necessary be edited manually.
After running input and specifying a filename (for example 144e10) you should then type yagi 144e10 and then output 144e10 and optionally
optimise 144e10
OPTIONS
-h Print a help message.
FILES
filename ASCII data file in which design is put.
PLATFORMS
Both DOS and Unix versions have been built. The DOS version as distributed requires a 386 PC with a 387 maths coprocessor.

Bugs tend actually to be fixed if they can be isolated, so it is in your interest to report them in such a way that they can be easily
reproduced.
If a mistake is made during inputting of data (such as entering an incorrect length), it is not possible to go back and correct this. You
should make a note of the error, and edit the ASCII text file with a text editor (vi, DOS edit etc).
