  I need to locate an editor package with the following minimal criteria:

     []	Must run on a NCR Tower 1632 machine (BTL UNIX(tm) System III
	on a Motorola 68000 cpu).
     []	Must support ~6 users, possibly doing simultaneous edits or
	text preparation work, without killing the machine.
     []	Would prefer using existing terminal base (Tandberg 2220's),
	but will consider purchasing others.  Blits(tm) and SUN(tm)
	types are probably out of the price range.
     []	Must be capable of at least two vertical windows (side-by-side).
     []	Would prefer source to binary.
     []	Must be able to be used by text editor/preparation people, i.e.
	should have paragraph search, next sentence, etc. or the ability
	to program in such features into soft-keys (a la EMACS).
     []	Would be nice if it knew how to handle foreign language character
	sets either by switching context or as hacks to fit in bits unused
	by ASCII in 8 bit characters.  This gets back to why source would
	be desirable.
     []	Support would be nice.
     []	And is if that isn't enough of a dream, it should be reasonably
	priced.

  Basically, if someone has hacked "vi" to do 2 windows, I'd be thrilled.
