+ex-vi (traditional vi)
+
+Bill Joy's original vi for UNIX.
+
+This port of vi has generally preserved the original style, terminal
+control, and feature set. It adds support for international character
+sets, including multibyte encodings such as UTF-8, and some minor
+enhancements that were not present in BSD vi 3.7, but had been included
+in later vi versions for System V or in POSIX.2.
+
+The "Introduction to Display Editing with Vi" mentioned in the man page
+can be found at: http://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/viin/paper.html
+
+See README_Slackware.txt for Slack-specific details about this build.
