Not true. Believe it or not, there IS a VI editor for the IBM-PC. I don't know
if the author was a mental patient or what, but you can find it on
umd5.umd.edu for Anonymous FTP. Believe it or not, quite a few people actually
use it because they do not feel like learning 10 different editors when they
switch from Vax to PC to whatever. VI is literally the only universal editor
around with the exception of emacs and it's mutations.
