My original question was to understand the lineage, not the functionality of the vi in FreeBSD 2.1 I view it as "a good thing" that nvi derives from Bill Joy's vi and hope and trust that since then, enhancements have been made to nvi so that it _does_ resize in an xterm (catching SIGWINCH or not!) and other things...
