Package: nvi Version: 1.81.6-8.1 Severity: normal Hi,
Using 'set backup=N%.~', nvi does not write the backup and emits the error message 'No filename to substitute for #'. Using 'set backup=%~' does the same as the above, and sometimes nvi instead just dumps core. Curiously, the correct backups are written when I invoke 'nex' using the same set backup values as above.
