Anyone lame 'vi' question......

This is a long shot, but there are many bright folks on here Smilie

My next vi drama involves a using a prototype file for a makefile. I have an old prototype file but its not in correct format. It's formated as:

/the/old/path/file1 <garbage> <garbage>
/the/old/path/file2 <garbage> <garbage>
.
.

I'm trying to format it into:
f none /the/old/path/file1=../../the/old/path/file1 777 user group

I've made a copy of the old file, removed <garbage> and whitespaces, and got everything I need left of the "=". Now I'm looking for a quick way to get the right side of the "=" formated correctly.

Any help is appreciated Smilie

graphiccomptool

GraphicCompTool(3U)					    InterViews Reference Manual 				       GraphicCompTool(3U)

NAME

       GraphicCompTool - tool for instantiating graphical components

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Unidraw/Tools/grcomptool.h>

DESCRIPTION

       A  GraphicCompTool  lets the user instantiate graphical components by direct manipulation.  The GraphicCompTool keeps a prototypical compo-
       nent that defines the type of component it can instantiate.

PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       GraphicCompTool(ControlInfo*, GraphicComp* prototype)
       GraphicCompTool()
	      Create a new GraphicCompTool, supplying the prototypical GraphicComp.  (You should not normally call the parameterless  constructor,
	      which Creator requires.)	The first constructor creates a graphical view of the prototype for internal use.

       virtual Manipulator* CreateManipulator(
	  Viewer*, Event&, Transformer*
       )

       virtual void InterpretManipulator(Manipulator*)
	      CreateManipulator  clears  the editor's selection and delegates manipulator creation and interpretation to the graphical view of the
	      prototype.

       GraphicComp* GetPrototype()
	      Return the prototypical GraphicComp.
