  The MKS Toolkit has an excellent implementation of vi; cost, apx $135 US.  
  Vi is actually only a minor part of the package, which also includes much of
  what is usually described in section 1 of the Unix man pages.  It should be a
  good buy for you, since I would guess that text utilities such as grep might
  be useful to you cas well .........
