Nvi For Linux

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. The source code to nvi is freely available, and nvi may be freely redistributed.

Requirements:

� Berkeley DB 3.3.11 � ncurses (recommended)
