The changes in nvi 1.74 are almost entirely bug and compatibility fixes. There are two other changes that may be of interest: + There's a new edit option, "path". It's a string option that defaults to the empty string, and whose contents are intended to be -separated directory paths. Each of the paths will be searched for any file you edit that isn't found in the current directory, as long as the name isn't an absolute pathname and the first component of the name isn't "." or "..". + The Perl scripting support has been upgraded to match the Perl 5.003.01 release. 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 1.74 is available for anonymous ftp from the usual two sites. ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:ucb/4bsd/nvi-1.74.ALPHA.tar.gz ftp.bostic.com:pub/nvi-1.74.ALPHA.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
