Both of you should trek out to a local bookstore and pick up any of the
following magazines: Dr. Dobbs Journal, BYTE, Computer Language...

All should contain advertisments from two companies:  Polytron and
MKS.  Both places offer Unix-like tools for the PC, including vi.

I have no experience with either outfit or their products, so I'm not
qualified to comment on them.
