Calvin 2.4 (Announce)

Calvin is a very small and fast vi editor for 16 bit DOS.

There is really only one change in this release: the status message from ^G now prints the current column as well as the line. The only real reason for this release is to port the source code from Borland Turbo-C & A86 to the free Watcom compiler toolchain, which is shipped with FreeDOS.

Nice! Usage conditions is the MIT license, and it is also by Paul Vojta (same as original FreeDOS Debug).

Thanks for providing this. I added your version 2.4 to the SvarDOS package repository.
