Mortice Kern Systems in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, has a protected-mode
Toolkit (with everything from awk to yacc) which also has an implementation
of vi.  I have used it satisfactorily, but I am not proficient at vi; a
friend of mine put it through its paces, and discovered problems only where
it touched on job control or shell aspects (talk to alex@mks about *that*).
The OS/2 Toolkit is in Beta testing, but I was able to obtain a copy just by
buying it.  In fact, it seems that it will cost me less to get it early
and pay for an upgrade than it would if I waited for the final release!

MKS can be contacted at:
	Mortice Kern Systems
	35 King Street North
	Waterloo, Ontario
	Canada N2J 2W9
	(519) 884-2251
or send mail to 
	uunet!watmath!mks!inquiry

I have also had good results talking to gerry@mks.com, Gerry Wheeler, the
guy on USENET who answers my questions (whatever his official capacity is).
I don't have the pricing handy, but I found it worthwhile, even spending my
own money.  Also, the Beta test pricing may have changed.
