     I'm now using a PC from IBM, running PC DOS, with one
floppy drive and one hard disk drive.  (I guess that makes
it an AT.  (?))  Anyway, I am desperate to get a 'vi'
lookalike for it so I don't have to learn YACE (Yet Another
Crappy Editor).

     Thanks to Mark Horton I now know about Custom Software
Systems PC/VI, and the Mortice Kern MKS Toolkit.  Are there
any others that people know about and can suggest?

     In particular, I would appreciate knowing about (and
poss. receiving sources of) public-domain 'vi' clones,
together with your experience with them.

     *Please* respond by e-mail, as news seems to be almost
totally f***ed at my site.

Advance in thanks,

--Jamie.
