#nvi2 — Public Fediverse posts

@r1w1s1

It's a shame that #Slackware is like every other Linux distribution and only packages #nvi and not #nvi2.

Nonetheless, you might want to cross-reference what you have against the nvi2 version of the manual, which expanded the descriptions of and clarified some existing things.

#vi #elvis

In #openbsd what is called #vi is actually #nvi, and when you install #nvi from ports, it is #nvi2.
To danes with our national characters æøå we need the latter because #vi prints two byte hex sequences for æ, ø, or å. #vi handles them correctly except for the printing of them.
#vi and #nvi use the same #man page.

Update:
On #netbsd #vi is also #nvi. Here you must install #nvi2 to get #nvi if you need æ, ø, and å support.
