- This is basically ex/vi 3.7, 6/7/85, from the 2.11BSD distribution. I
- added the manual pages and the 2.11 termcap and made some smaller fixes.
-
- A larger addition is the ability to handle ISO character sets. It is
- enabled by default, although it may produce subtle changes in vi's
- behaviour I did not discover yet. The handling is not perfect since
- it does not apply to the character range 0200 to 0239 that contains
- seldom-used control sequences and since the regular expression code
- has not been updated at all. In case you prefer the 7-bit only,
- classic version, remove -DISO from OPTIONS in the Makefile.
-
- I compiled this only on my Linux 2.2.15 / glibc 2.1.3 box. Compilation
- reports from other systems are highly welcome, whether successful or
- not (in the latter case add a detailed description). You will get
- some warnings about signal handler types; ignore them. The additional
- tools (expreserve, exrecover, mkstr, xstr) will not be built by
- default; they probably will not compile.
-
- In any case, the included version of the termcap library must be used
- since the use of malloc() in other implementations collides with the
- sbrk() calls in vi. All you need is an /etc/termcap file; if your
- system lacks one, fetch it from <http://www.tuxedo.org/terminfo>.
