What were you trying to do?
Use "!}fmt" to format a paragraph in vi.
What's wrong:
The £ (Pound Symbol) character disappeared.
On further investigation, fmt silently ignores
characters with the high bit set. If I set
LANG=en-US then fmt dumps core instead.
What should have happened:
fmt should work with 8 bit input.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
fmt(1)
