   Subject: nex/nvi version 1.76 available
   
   Version 1.76 is available for anonymous ftp from the usual two sites.
   
   	ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:ucb/4bsd/nvi-1.76.tar.gz
   	ftp.bostic.com:pub/nvi-1.76.tar.gz
   
   (The UC Berkeley site is likely to provide faster transfer speeds.)
   Note that version 1.76 has replaced the previous "stable" version,
   version 1.71.
   
   Please let me know if you have any problems, and thanks for using nvi!
