This mailing list is the only place I can think of where I could possibly
share this article:

******************************************

Note that the author's vi example to put quotes around lines:

%s/\(^\|$\)/\"/g

only works if ^ .ne. $, that is, the line is nonempty.

(Sorry, mathematicians just love to point out things like this).

Cheers,
Michael
