Well, the Manx "z" editor (comes bundled in the complete version of their
compiler package) is supposed to be "vi-like".

And there is supposed to be a set of macros for the shareware Uedit editor
that makes it "close to vi".  Someone here on the net has mentioned this a
time or two, but I've never seen anything posted ...

And I recently shipped Matt Dillon a set of macros that were developed by
Bela Lubkin for his "dme" editor that make dme look alot like *Wordstar",
so it's quite likely that one could get dme to look alot like vi, too.

If anyone is interested in these dme macros (they make good macro examples),
I can email them, or post if there is enough demand (EMAIL me if you're
interested).

The dme and ARexx macros *I* use with dme, have allowed me to get dme to
look more and more like *my* favorite editor, XEDIT (and/or KEDIT).

BTW, the latest version of dme (v1.30) was shipped off to the moderators
at purdue several weeks ago ...
