A crude port of xvi for Windows NT. Pipes (e.g. reading to/from other
processes) don't work, but otherwise it seems fully functional.
The other files here are:
xvi.exe - the executable
xvisrc.zip - the complete source and documentation.
xvidiff.zip - contains only the files I had to change for NT
xvi.exe will create a new window. Normally the window in which you
invoke xvi.exe will not be usable (because you won't be able to
invoke anything else until xvi.exe exits). You can use the program
below to put it in the background (e.g. I have a batch file called vi.bat
which essentially invokes "bg.exe xvi.exe %1").
