Summary: 

PC/VI works on any MS-DOS machine and comes complete with MS-DOS
termlib routines (although the documentation isn't ready yet...).

I use it on my Ampro Little Board/186 driving a VT100 and all I had to
do was copy my Unix termcap entry over and it works fine.  Since PC/VI
is a BIG program and uses temporary files, a hard disk would be nice;
but I have no real complaints with my floppy-based system.

Is PC/VI a straight port of Berkeley vi?  I don't see any UCB
copyright information, but it sure looks and feels like UCB vi!
