- These files Exaaaa<five-digits> are vi or ex recover files.
- Vi or Ex leave this files in /tmp/Exaa..., and on the next time Expreserve is
- run (from the crontab or when rebooting) these files are moved to /usr/preserve
- and the user whos file it was gets a message by mail. If this user types
- vi -r filename, filename is recovered from /usr/preserve. The user has his file
- back then and he/she is very happy.
