Short:        PD version of full UNIX "vi" editor V1.0
Author:       Chris and John Downey, Amiga port by Dan Schmelzer
Uploader:     dan col hp com (Dan Schmelzer)
Type:         text/edit
Architecture: m68k-amigaos


Xvi is a public domain version of the full UNIX "vi" text editor, with
extensions.  Xvi includes the underlying "ex" commands that so many
"vi"-like editors are missing.  Many thanks to Chris and John Downey for
creating this little gem.

The Amiga version works both under Workbench and from the CLI.  It
allows resizing of your window while editing a file and supports a few
"graphical" operations such as cursor positioning with the mouse and
using the close gadget.

This archive contains two executables (one for 1.3 OS and another for
2.0 and above OS) and all of the sources.  Sources needed for the amiga
version are compilable under SAS "C" 6.50.  The current version numbers
are:

    Generic part of Xvi Version: 2.15
              Amiga Xvi Version: 1.0

Following is a reproduction of file "COPYING" contained within the
archive.  It specifies how Xvi, including the Amiga version of Xvi is to
be distributed.  The archive xvi.lha includes all sources for all
versions of Xvi including the Amiga version as required by this notice.

Enjoy,
