Recently I lost a number of changes I made to a program when the SCO Unix system went down. The system "mail" suggested a "vi -r" option that took me back several days. To prevent this in the future, I am trying to create my own vi command:

A component of the path name is not a directory.
The named directory does not exist.
Search permission is denied for any component of the path name.
path points outside the allocated address space of the process. The reliable detection of this error is implemen-
