This ports contains multilingualized nex/nvi. nex/nvi is a freely redistributable implementation of ex/vi text editors originally distributed as part of the Fourth Berkeley Software Distribution (4BSD), by the University of California, Berkeley. Multilingual patch enables you to use the following multilingual encoding methods, such as: none euc-jp-old euc-jp euc-cn euc-kr latin1 latin2 iso-2022-cn iso-2022-jp iso-2022-kr iso-2022-7-1 iso-2022-7-2 iso-2022-8-2 sjis big5 hz Multilingual support has been set up to use some of the above (guess from the name of the ports/packages) as default value. You can change encoding style on the fly, or by setting up ~/.exrc. With configurations, for Japanese encodings, you can also enjoy the embedded canna support. See /usr/local/share/vi/README.* for details of multilingual patch. Default encoding is set by /usr/local/etc/vi.exrc. original distribution site: ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/4bsd/nvi-1.79.tar.gz ftp://ftp.foretune.co.jp/pub/tools/nvi-m17n/nvi-1.79.m17n-970306.diff.gz
