Version 1.69 of nex/nvi is now available. With two exceptions, all of the changes were bug fixes of one form or another, mostly minor, and mostly changes to handle a few portability problems that I've been intending to fix for the stable release. If I don't hear of any problems with 1.69 in the next few days, version 1.70 will replace 1.34 as the new "stable" version. 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. The two non-bugfix changes are: + File names are now truncated to fit on a single line when reporting the number of bytes written to a file. + There's a new "windowname" edit option. If you set this edit option, nvi will rename xterm icon/windows to be the file name of the current edit buffer. Note that this is a destructive change, and the icon/window will retain the new name after vi exits. One final note: for consistency with the Linux and GNU distributions, the extracted directory is now "nvi-1.69", not "nvi.1.69". Version 1.69 is available for anonymous ftp from the usual two sites: ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:ucb/4bsd/nvi.ALPHA.1.69.tar.gz ftp.bostic.com:pub/nvi.ALPHA.1.69.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
