I tried email but we can't reach you that way...............

I have seen some hacked versions of the VI that is included with the
Manx C compiler on local BBS.  If the size of the version is around
29K and when brought up indicates that it can handle 57K files, then
that is what you have.  I have informed several sysops about this and
all but one removed the copy.
