I have seen the vi installation problems mentioned below as well. My
explanation is that some of us succeeded in sup'in a new nvi and then
one day later lost it again because of the sup server's shift from
giving us current to giving us 1.2-in-progress sources.

Maybe the person working with vi should verify that the intended
version of vi is in the 1.2 branch of the cvs tree.

..       SUBDIR+=USD.doc/edit USD.doc/exref USD.doc/vi.ref USD.doc/vitut

.. um.. my vi/Makefile has:
.. 
.. .if make(install)
.. SUBDIR+=docs/USD.doc/edit docs/USD.doc/exref docs/USD.doc/vi.ref docs/USD.doc/vitut
.. .endif
.. 
.. which *do* exist.
