A TSR called BUFFIT came with the 44 free programs advertised by "The
Software Labs" (TSL) recently in Personal Computing.  I think the 44
free offer is gone, but BUFFIT is on one of their regular utility
disks.  Of course it fails when a program writes directly to the
screen.  And some programs mess up its memory.  Otherwise, it works.

A vi clone by Paul Vojta went by on comp.binaries.ibm.pc earlier this
year.  STEVIE is in SIMTEL.

If you can get mail to listserv@vm1.nodak.edu you can get most of
what's at SIMTEL, including STEVIE.

Let me take this opportunity to thank Keith Peterson for correcting my
complaint that SIMTEL files are not accessible without ftp.  Actually,
my gratitude may be premature, as I have not yet succeeded in correctly
murmuring all the necessary invocations to get files.  But I've got
directory listings, and I'm optimistic.
