# The editors/nvi port

## nvi-2.2.0 – ex/vi text editor with wide character support

## 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
