Newer versions of Wordstar (I can't remember which versions) allow you
to turn off the infamous `pad to the end of the block with ^Z'
feature (holdover from CP/M).  I don't know of any versions of vi that
leave ^Z at the end of the file.  I know that our version of vi does not
write ^Z at EOF.  If yours does then see if there is an option to turn
off the ^Z writing (try typing `:set all' to see all the options).
