For a long term user of vi the real advantage that is offered by emacs
is the possibility of moving around in insert and replace mode. Of
course this can also be done in vi with map! but it is nice to have
this feature in-built (and hence faster?). 

So let me come to the main question---has someone already written a 
MINT version of vip (MINT is the alternative to elisp in Freemacs) or 
should one sit down and write one...with the 64K limitation is this 
feasible?
