It is in Etch also, regardless, an install from sid will bring in new
libraries, etc, you may not want to go there, esp if you have to ask :-)
One way to get NVU is to download the tar.gz ver from the NVU site
install to /usr/local with a symlink to /usr/local/bin. This leaves Sarge
alone and NVU runs fine from there.

Hey Greb,
Thanks for you quick reply! Plese bear with me. Could you tell me how
to add the symlink for this package, if that is possible? You can see
I'm a newbie with quite limited knowledge.
Thanks a ton!
Rocky
