Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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! --keith
