-This is the README for nex/nvi, a freely redistributable implementation
-of the ex/vi text editors originally distributed as part of the Fourth
-Berkeley Software Distribution (4BSD), by the University of California,
-Berkeley.
-
-The source code for nex/nvi can be retrieved by using anonymous ftp to
-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu. The file ucb/4bsd/nvi.tar.gz is the gzip'd archive,
-of version 1.71 of nex/nvi. This version is believed to be stable and
-problem free. The file ucb/4bsd/nvi-###.ALPHA.tar.gz is a gzip'd archive
-of the current alpha-test release of nex/nvi. This version reflects the
-current development tree, and will be more likely to have problems.

-See the file:
- build/README for information on building nvi.
- LAYOUT for a description of where everything is.
