The following steps are necessary to get bvi running:
 UNIXThe Unix version of bvi needs the curses (ncurses) library
for cursor movement.
Download the source package from the Download PageUnzip the package with the command:
    # gunzip -c bvi-1.3.2.src.tar.gz | tar xvf
Change to the directory bvi-1.3.2 and type
    # ./configure
    # make
Type `make install' for copying the executable files
and manual pages to the final directories.
By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc.
You can specify an
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving
`configure' the option
`--prefix=PATH'. Use the
`--with-ncurses' option to configure to specify an
alternate search path for Ncurses outside the normal 
include/lib search path.
 
You will find now four new commands:
 
    bvi     The binary editor
    bview   The readonly version of bvi
    bedit   The beginners version of bvi
    bmore   The binary more program
Use `make uninstall' to remove the installed
files from your file system.You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
source code directory by typing `make clean'.
To also remove the files that `configure' created
(so you can compile the package for
a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'.
 MSDOSBeginning with version 1.3.2 you may use the DJGPP environment to
compile bvi for working under both Win32 and DOS.
The MSDOS version (Borland C) exists for historical reasons and is not
supported anymore:
 
You have to convert the sourcefiles from the UNIX textformat to
the MSDOS textformat first. This can be done e.g. by loading and
saving them with the MSDOS standard editor `edit'.
 
The MSDOS version is using the conio routines of the 
Borland - C compilers for cursor movement. The doscur.h
header file substitutes the curses commands.Bvi is using the "HUGE" memory model, bmore
needs the "TINY" model to
be able to convert it to a .COM file.
 
Download the source package from the Download PageUnzip the package with the command:
    gunzip -c bvi-1.3.2.src.tar.gz | tar xvf
 Load the tcconfig file (located in the bc subdirectory
for Borland - C). Press F9-Make
