I edited something (using VI) on a sun workstation connected to my linux box, and the sun did not quite display the file. A dd command (delete line) deleted the right line on the screen, but Solaris was confused as to how the screen looked. And the screen looked ok, but the wrong line was canned. 16.8 fixed that... now to get it compiled... don't bother with 16.7, although it plays reasonably, it has problems with white rooks and open files as that code is hosed.
