I appreciate your sharing this tidbit. I looked at:

and saw what they said are advantages. What do you believe are the
advantages of Nvi?
just curious,
BTW .. I used the following which fixed the wordwrap to 78 in an 80
column field.
TIN_VI_OPTIONS="set wm=2 co=80"
alias tin='EDITOR="/usr/bin/vi" EXINIT="${TIN_VI_OPTIONS}" /usr/bin/tin'
The advantage that I see is that NVI acts just like VI, which is what I have
learned. I don't like trying to learn things differently if I don't need to.
NVI is just like what I am used to on FreeBSD and others.
Also, it is BSD licensed, which I like.
