Description

Nvi is an implementation of the ex/vi text editor originally distributed as part of the Fourth Berkeley Software Distribution (4BSD), by the University of California, Berkeley.

Nvi supports all the historic ex/vi features except for open mode and the lisp edit option (e.g., it has a fully implemented underlying ex mode). It has a number of additional features as well:

* 8-bit clean data, lines and files limited by available memory * Multiple edit buffers * Colon command-line editing and path name completion * Tag stacks (including support for Cscope databases) * Extended Regular Expressions * Infinite undo * Horizontal scrolling * Message catalogs * Wide character support

Available flavors: iconv - support conversion between different character encodings
