Nvi is a freely redistributable replacement for the ex/vi text editors originally distributed as part of the Fourth Berkeley Software Distribution (4BSD), by the University of California, Berkeley. It 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). The source code is freely available, and may be freely redistributed. For further information, see: http://www.bostic.com/vi
