All machines in my university are all solaris, various updates and various hardware. Mission was to copy and paste a line in vi say 500 times. I tried the usual yy, to copy the line I wanted, then 500p
It only pasted one line. Tried a bunch of other machines, no dice.
Had another person try the same task, they failed as well and were like WTF is going on here.
Talked to the programmers, they only use vim, where this does work. Is there a reason this pretty basic behavior doens't work on the sun standard vi, or is there something that would make it not work?
