Version 1.79 of nex/nvi is now available.

The changes in nvi 1.79 are almost entirely bug and compatibility fixes.
In particular, there was one large fix, to handle a complex use of the
global command I'd never seen before.

The only feature changes were:

	+ Upgrading to Perl 5.003_06, and other Perl cleanups and
	  upgrades, from Sven Verdoolaege.

	+ The comment edit option now skips C++ comments, courtesy
	  of Scott Bolte.

	+ Spanish has been added to the list of message translations.

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 1.79 is available for anonymous ftp from the usual two sites.

	ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:ucb/4bsd/nvi-1.79.tar.gz
	ftp.bostic.com:pub/nvi-1.79.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!
