PC-VI is advertised in Byte, Unix/World, Unix Review, and other computer
related magazines.  List price is $149, but I've seen it advertised for $99.

I have never tried the product, but I've seen their literature (read interest
cards are real nice).  It appears (and claims) to be a complete *port* of
vi from the Berkeley source code to the pc.

There are other news sources than the net, you know. :-)
