Version 1.71 of nex/nvi is now available.

The changes in nvi 1.71 are almost entirely bug and compatibility fixes.
There are two changes that may be of interest:

	+ The read command now supports named pipes.

	+ The Fg command has been implemented, so you can foreground a
	  backgrounded screen by splitting the current screen.  Also,
	  you can name background screens by using the last filename
	  component, e.g., ":Fg passwd" will foreground a backgrounded
	  /etc/passwd edit buffer into a split screen.

If you're interested in a further review of the changes that have been
made, a complete change log is included with the distribution, in the
file docs/changelog.

Version 1.71 is available for anonymous ftp from the usual two sites.
(Please note the name change from the previous ALPHA designation!)

	ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:ucb/4bsd/nvi-1.71.tar.gz
	ftp.bostic.com:pub/nvi-1.71.tar.gz

(The UC Berkeley site is likely to provide faster transfer speeds.)

Please let me know if you have any problems, and thanks for using nvi!
