 I've sent a patch to upstream (https://repo.or.cz/nvi.git/shortlog) but
 it was a direct email to the maintainers, so I can't reference it here.

 Modified Files:

 Log Message:
 Remove documentation for long removed -F option

 Suggested by Robert Whitlock in PR bin/58177

 I've sent this patch to the nvi maintainers but the response suggested
 patching this downstream, as there would be no further releases of nvi.
