xvi executables on the web

Third-party binaries and unofficial ports have sprung up. At the time of writing they are mostly for the early version. I have tried to contact all maintainers, and encourage people with working development systems to compile the latest version and notify this project.

Amiga

wuarchive.wustl.edu
Xvi editor that can run from serial console
Version: 2.15
Uploader: Laurent Faillie
Files: README, xviser.lha

HP-UX

hpux.connect.org.uk
Binaries for PA-RISC architecture under HP-UX 10.20 or 11.00, and source.
Version: 2.19
Archived: 19 Oct 1999

Linux x86

ibiblio.org
Version: 2.19
Maintained by: cs89ssg@brunel.ac.uk
Files: xvi.tgz containing source, docs and "sysfiles.tar" with ancient Linux i386 ZMAGIC executable. So ancient that it doesn't run without the "binfmt_aout" kernel compatability module installed, and then it immediately dumps core. Great!

MSDOS

garbo.uwasa.fi
Version: 2.15
Compiled: Jul 28 1992
Files: xvidoc.zip 73730, xviexe.zip 66903 containing XVI.EXE 123539, xvisrc.zip 261296.
simtel.net and
gd.tuwein.ac.at carry the same files.

Windows NT

cybersoft.com
Version: 2.15 for Windows NT 3.1 and higher
Files: xvi-i.zip (executable), xvi-s.zip (source code).
Interestingly, the source archive contains an rcs trail of modifications made to param.c and nt.c by "Brian" 1994-02-16.
ataman.com carries the same files.

There is an extended version of xvi:

xvi-sjis
A portable multi-window 'vi' handles Japanese SJIS
Version: 2.19
Port added: 27 Aug 2003

There are also a couple of binary file editors called XVI that are not xvi:

The one mentioned at that idiot Sven Guckes "vi pages" is not xvi. It is B. Sartirana's screen oriented hexidecimal/octal editor from 1985, whose commands are a subset of those of "vi".
Source archive at tu-berlin.de.
XVI32 is a freeware hex editor running under Windows 95 to XP. The name is a pun on XVI being roman for 16.
