+xvi (tiny but full-featured vi clone)
+
+Xvi is a portable multi-window version of the UNIX editor 'vi', derived
+from "STEVIE" in the 1980s. The program was originally developed for the
+Atari ST, but has been ported to many platforms. In spite of its name,
+there is, as yet, no X-Windows-specific version of it.
+
+It uses text windows separated by horizontal status lines on character
+mode displays and the windows may represent different files being edited,
+or different views on to the same file.
+
+Two environment variables are supported:
+
+ OPT=-O2 - Build with regular optimization level (default is -Os).
+ STATIC=yes - Build the xvi binary statically linked.
+
+See README_SBo.txt for more details.
