I have stevie running on MINIX.  It is pretty vi like, but keeps the file
being edited in core, which limits it to files of around 50K.  It really
is not well polished.  If you are really a vi addict, you could
volunteer to finish it off :-)  The source is 56 files and 375K bytes C text.
That shouldn't deter a real vi addict.  Emacs is 10 times that.  I
think the source should be in the archives.  I am not wild about sending
375K to Australia, but will do it if you can't find it elsewhere.
