CHANGES in bvi 1.3.0

• In the configure script you can use --with-ncurses option to configure to specify an alternate search path for Ncurses outside the normal include/lib search path.

• A make uninstall option has been added

• A bmore program has been added. It acts like the BSD - text - more, but for binary files.

  Additional command line options:

  -a   ASCII mode

  Additional (changed) Commands:

  v   does not invoke vi but bvi
  w   invokes bvi with only that portion of the file which is displayed on the screen.

• New in bvi:
  • You can edit now Block Special Files too.
  • You can read - edit - write files partly.
  • New Command line options:

    +cmd
    -b begin \
    -e end    > for partial file read
    -s size  /

    begin, end or size can be an integer value (decimal or hexadecimal) or an integer value with an appended k (for multiply by 1024) or m (for multiply by 1.048.576).
  • :e# bug fixed
  • Debian bug #68436 (Buffer overflow in io.c) fixed
