>For the folks wanting an enhanced vi.

There is a public domain vi-based editor named "JSTEVIE" that supports most 
vi and ex commands, Japanese kanji input, tag stack, etc.  It runs mainly on 
UNIX and MS-DOS systems, and should be easy to port to other platforms.
	
As you can tell from its name, it is based on the STEVIE 3.69 sources by
Tony Andrews.  Hopefully, these two threads will be merged someday into a
single distribution.

Features of JSTEVIE include:
 o Japanese kanji support - works with JIS, EUC, SJIS codes and with most 
   MS-DOS front-end processors.
 o shiftwidth, autowrite, fepcontrol settings.
 o tag stack (cf. Sun's vi) for returning to previous context after using
   :ta or ^[ commands.
 o :map, :map!, :ab, :unmap, :unmap!, :unab supported.
 o uses TERMCAP file for terminal settings.

The latest version (J1.2) of JSTEVIE is available for anonymous FTP from 
utsun.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp (133.11.7.250).

Any questions concerning JSTEVIE should be sent to its author, Jun Ohta, 
at ohta@src.ricoh.co.jp.
