Tabs in VI

Someone asked how to get vi to do autoindent using spaces rather than
tabs. I'm not sure all of the implications, but
:set tabstop=0
will let you do autoindent without tabs. Already tabbed text seems to
get treated decently.
The vi Bug: The reason I'm crossposting to comp.bugs.misc is that
there's a bug in the hardtabs handling that causes vi to dump core. Try
:set hardtabs=0
and watch for the floating point exception.
