When I use slackware4.0 ,I installed nvi software.
I feel it 's really great!,but I upgraded slackware to 9.0,I can't find nvi package.
Can you tell me how to find the package with slackware 9.0?

Best regards

Hi mathewzhao,
You can locate binary, source and manual pages of any command using whereis command. So do : -

Slackware uses 'elvis' as its default vi editor. Vim has many more features, and that's also included.

If you just prefer using nvi, there is a package for Slackware 9.1 at www.linuxpackages.net that might work for you.
