If anyone wants to do a *real* port of vi to MINIX, a good place to start
would be the Software Tools version of 'ed'. After all, the real 'vi' got
started with enhancements to the real 'ed'.

If anyone wants, I have a version of Software Tools 'ed' in C somewhere,
and I could probably dig it up. Converting it to 'vi' is one of those
things I've never gotten around to...
