I am a private user with even less money and I have been using the entire
MKS toolkit for several years. My first exposure to vi was with MKS vi and
I think that it is if anything better than the vi that I am using to write
this item (SUN Version 3.7, 6/7/85). The whole toolkit is in my opinion
indispensible for anyone who is forced to use MS-DOS.
