Version 2/17/02 of Traditional ex/vi
Release Notes: Small fixes were made for regular expressions, tags, the (count)~, :ab, and :(addr)r commands, and the creation of temporary files. The behaviour of the scroll and modelines options was changed to match SVr4 vi. The framework for message internationalization was added, but there are no translated message catalogues yet. The manual pages were revised.
