Where can I get the early versions of this effort?
http://ex-vi.berlios.de/Changes lists at the very bottom:
: Release 31/05/00
: * String extraction using mkstr and xstr is not longer be done.
: * An ANSI C preprocessor may be used.
: * Changes of symbol names due to collisions on newer systems.
: * Fixed a null pointer reference in ex_tty.c.
: * Included the 2.11BSD termcap in a subdirectory. Ex could use any
: termcap library, however, that does not use malloc().
: * Support of eight bit characters excluding the range 0200 to 0237 is
: enabled with -DISO8859_1. It does not include the regular expression code,
: but otherwise works well in practice with the ISO-8859-1 character set.
And all the newer stuff up to late 2002 is porting to "modern UNIX". But I
don't want "modern UNIX", I'm running the original UNIX in its virgin form, I
just want the 8-bit fix. The only files downloadable from ex-vi.berlios.de are
2002 releases and in the UNIX Archive Applications/Ritter_Vi contains only a
tiny README file pointing to http://ex-vi.berlios.de/. Where are the old 2000
versions?
