The name of the editor is Uedit, and you don't have to go to the trouble
to make it look like vi, because I've already done it for you.  My
emulator has just about all of the normal moving, inserting, deleteing,
yanking, putting, marking, undeleting, etc. commands, plus a few other
things like :ab abbreviations and ctags.  In addition, it keeps all of
the great Uedit features like multiple files, split windows, learn mode,
and user customization.

I am in the process of trying to get it posted, or failing that, put in
an ftp'able archive someplace.  If all that doesn't work, I'll consider
emailing it.  (What the heck, I just applied for graduation today, what
can they do to me after I'm gone?)  I've also been distributing it by
U.S. mail.  ($3 or disk and SASE gets the latest version.)

Note:  Uedit is shareware/commercial product.  The vi emulator works
fine with the freely distributable trial version, and, of course the
vi emulator is freely distributable.
