One product I haven't seen mentioned is EDT8, by a company called acceler8. 
I've been using it for a while, and it seems quite close to EDT.  (I haven't
run into a difference yet, except that on some systems, you can't use ^Z to get
out of screen mode.  But that's probably my ineptness at figuring out stty!) 
This company also sells a product DCL8, a VAX/VMS DCL-like shell for UNIX, and
LIB8, to emulate the VAX/VMS run-time libraries.  I haven't used either of the
two myself.
