nvi 1.76 for the NEXTSTEP NIHS platforms (the Apple MacStep (?) version coming soon) is available as ftp://ftp.inslab.uky.edu/pub/editors/nvi-1.76/nvi-1.76-NIHS.tar.gz This is nvi, a replacement for the vi editor. It comes with the BSD4.4-Lite derived systems (such as BSD/OS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc), however, it compiles on just about everything thanks to GNU's autoconf system. The advantages of nvi over the old vi which comes with NEXTSTEP are that it offers many more features over the old vi. nvi is also available for many operating systems so it is easier dealing with a consistent version of vi which acts the same no matter where you are. Man pages and reference manuals are included. The untouched sources are available as ftp://ftp.inslab.uky.edu/pub/editors/nvi-1.76/nvi-1.76.tar.gz nvi is maintained by Keith Bostic <bostic@cs.berkeley.edu>. New versions are released in ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/4bsd/ If you have questions, I can be reached at abbott@inslab.uky.edu, 12/24/96
