PVIC is a Portable VI Clone derived from STEVIE 3.69B. It has been written
in Kernighan and Ritchie C, so it compiles on both old and modern C compilers.
The original STEVIE 3.69B I got was written for MS-DOS systems, and did
contain many non portable things like BIOS calls. I have removed everything
from STEVIE 3.69B I considered non-portable, and I did rewrite the I/O. I
added code to read termcap files. I gave many variables and functions from the
original STEVIE 3.69B more understandable names.
There are some incompatibilities between different operating systems. These
incompatibilities are resolved in the files LOCDEFS.H and LOCFUNCS.H. To port
PVIC to another operating system, you only have to modify these files.
The code provided is for MS-DOS machines and been compiled succesfully
with the Microsoft C 7.0 compiler. However, I do not recommend using
PVIC on MS-DOS machines, since there are commercial MS-DOS VI clones available,
which are more complete and faster. PVIC was created to be portable.
I hope PVIC will provide for those who have to work on many different
platforms, and want to use the same editor on every platform. I encourage
everybody to copy and/or port PVIC.
